Integrity Moments is a 60 second workday devotional from CEO, Rick Boxx, 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.
Here’s what business leaders are saying about UBN’s Integrity Moments:
I just finished your 4-day devotional on Rebuilding Your Reputation and want to offer my sincere appreciation and gratitude for you writing it. I really needed it right now.
I love UBN’s Integrity Moments. I often share them with my team when it’s relevant to them, and I have invited others to subscribe. It’s a quick read, and it’s great how you pull out the biblical applications.
I read your Integrity Moments every day. Your design is really engaging for me. Three sentences, a verse, and a wrap up take-away. The last two Integrity Moments have been particularly meaningful and timely.

Up until the 1980s, pension plans were a common approach for employers to help employees with retirement.

For those business owners who desire to give from their profitability, a donor advised fund (DAF) can allow them to donate into their DAF in late December for their tax deduction. Then in January, the business owners can determine to which ministries they desire to give. DAFs, however, take away the urgency of selecting ministries to support. This sometimes results ...
