The First 5 App and the next study on Living Faith

In 2015 Proverbs 31 Ministries launched the First 5 app. As a follower of Proverbs 31, I downloaded it immediately and it’s an app that delivers! The vision for this app is to connect a woman’s heart to God’s Word the First 5 minutes of her day. As shared on the website “First 5 will greet you up with a short teaching first thing in the morning, so you can exchange whispers with God before shouts with the world.”

Each day one of the amazing writers shares their perspective and wisdom on one chapter of one book of the Bible along with a prayer and a question. There is an additional follow-up section for those who want to dig deeper and community section in which to discuss that day’s reading. This slow but steady movement through the Word has allowed me to find a new appreciation for the insight and value of each line of the Word. I love the enthusiasm brought as well as the daily practice, each chapter is translated to be relevant to today.

Beyond the app are the Experience Guides, printed (or digital) books designed to accompany your study of Scripture in the First 5 app. I’ve used these from the first study and each one contains invaluable context to the book of study including historical information as well as questions to dig deeper into the world! They aren’t required to enjoy the First 5 app but they are a great addition.

The next study is “Living Faith,” a study of 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, James and 1, 2 & 3 John. I’m so looking forward to it!
