Here’s what our First 5 friends are saying…

“The studies I have done over the past few years have been a source of hope, power, guidance, and inspiration for my life. At a later age in life and 30 years of marriage, my world employed so much intentional and purposeful harm. First 5 has helped me process hard emotions, look deeply into God’s character, and see His love for me. Reading the Bible with the study guides and daily readings added a level of understanding that I had never experienced prior. I have learned so much and had many “God moments.” I can’t imagine how I would have survived without these studies.”

“I am new to First 5. Honestly, this is the best discovery. The studies are profound and make you ponder all day on the Truth of the Word. I enjoy the drop-down verses within the devotion as well as the comment section. I have now created a private group to start the next study with some friends. Thank you to all the faithful servants writing for First 5! You are all such a blessing in so many women’s lives! To God be the glory!”

Joanne Y.

“I cannot thank you enough for this app and all that it has done for me. It changed my life. I have friends that, together, we have been reading the devotional daily for about 7-8 years. Each morning we each answer the question at the end of the reading; then we discuss our answers. It has been a lifeline for me to connect with these faithful ladies each morning and read God’s Word together. I cannot thank you enough for creating such a wonderful app. God bless you all.”
