You know that moment when you wake up and reach for your phone before you've even said good morning to God? First 5 was built for that moment. Developed by Proverbs 31 Ministries, this free daily Bible study app greets you with a short teaching in God's Word before the day's noise takes over.^1
Each weekday walks through a passage of Scripture with a brief teaching from its teaching team, which includes Lysa TerKeurst, and each Saturday brings an audio teaching, with a transcript, that sums up the week's passages. Studies move book by book. A typical teaching takes about five minutes and includes a key verse, More Moments to go deeper, a My Moment reflection, and a community comment thread. You can follow the current study or pick a plan from an archive covering every book of Scripture, read the Bible in multiple translations including the King James Version, and highlight, bookmark, note, and share parts of a teaching.^2
Lysa TerKeurst launched First 5 in 2015 to help women meet with God first, before the scroll and the schedule. The app is free on iOS, Android, and the web, and the founding line still holds: "We must exchange whispers with God before shouts with the world."^4 One reader put the habit this way: "When I look back at my 'My Moments,' I can see that First 5 has helped me do more than just read Scripture — it has helped me truly engage with it."^1
Optional study guides are available to buy in printed and digital form for readers who want to go deeper alongside the app.^2
