First 5 is a daily bible study app brought to you by Proverbs 31 Ministries. First 5 was specifically designed to greet you with a short teaching in God’s Word each day, before you get distracted by social media and everything else screaming for your attention. It will equip you to better study and know the Word of God.

Is This As Good as It Gets?
Experience the Lasting Change You Long For, A Study of the Book of Titus


A five-week study beginning July 28 in the FREE First 5 mobile app.

In the often overlooked book of Titus, we find hope for real, lasting change — not by doing more but by letting God do what only He can: transform us from the inside out through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Here’s what our First 5 friends are saying…

“I’ve never really studied the Bible until I started using this app. It has helped me discipline myself to take the time to do it. I actually look forward to my study time!”

— Cyndi S. 

“A friend from church told me about the First 5 app and how she uses it to study the Bible. That was over six years ago when I retired, and I rarely miss a day. I love to start my day with God’s Word. Even though I’ve read through the Bible many times, I still learn more every time I read it.”

— Leslie B. 

“I am a mom with three kids who are 3 and under. This app has been so great for a quick but deep study each day. I love that there is a question each day to prompt my sleep-deprived brain toward some application and a deeper thought.”

— Maddison R.
