Our Next Study

Rerouted: Following God’s Lead Even When We Lose Our Way

A FREE study of the book of Jonah in the First 5 app, starting June 9.

When you’ve taken a wrong turn or two and wonder if God can still use you …

When you’re stuck in a season that doesn’t make sense …

When you’re tired of feeling like you’ve missed the mark again …

Remember this: Every detour, every delay — it’s all part of God’s plan to lead us exactly where we need to go.

Through Jonah’s story, we’ll see how God’s mercy meets us in our missteps and how His grace makes a way forward — even when we feel far from where we thought we’d be.

Join us for this timely study in the First 5 app, and discover how God’s redirection is never rejection — it’s an invitation to return to Him and trust His path. And the best part is that you can take these teachings with you wherever you go!

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.
