Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Integrity Moments is a 60 second workday devotional that provides business leaders with helpful insight into what the Bible says about our work and how we can fully integrate our faith into our vocational calling.

While I was doing freelance consulting, securing new clients was critical. I was excited to find a woman who was new to her role in an area where I had done work. I reached out, offering to help her in her new role. To showcase my experience, I planned to send her work I had done previously. 

But I caught myself. The work I had done was produced and paid for by another client. I didn’t feel I could share it without violating my relationship with the first customer. 

2 Corinthians 1:12 counsels: “…Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity and godly sincerity.” 

In our desire to advance, we can’t let our drive to succeed harm the relationships we have built. 

Today’s Integrity Moment was provided by author and speaker, Tom Petersen. Tom C. Petersen is a former utility communications professional who writes about work and faith. Connect on LinkedIn or tomcpetersen.com.
