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.

We recently have been researching moving into a new market. So, I reached out to another faith at work ministry in that community to discuss collaborating rather than competing. One of their leaders began offering ideas on how they might partner with us. The true sign of his heart, however, was when he offered to introduce us to their biggest ...
Politics can be a vicious sport. When one party wins an important election, there’s traditionally an acceptance speech that declares and celebrates the victory. However, it’s not uncommon after the victory for some members of the winning party to begin to gloat publicly about their opponent’s defeat. Unfortunately, this happens in business at times as well. Some people are so ...
Early in my ministry, I became jealous of another ministry leader. While his ministry was growing and flourishing, I became critical of his work due to my jealousy. Eventually, I realized that God wanted my best, without being concerned about other people’s successes. I apologized to this leader and chose to focus on my stewardship, not others. Competition can become ...
Many of us were involved in team sports. Whether it’s basketball, football or soccer, two teams compete with the intent that one will win and the other will lose. This can easily foster the viewpoint that our business lives must also be about a win/lose proposition. It’s easy to convince ourselves that God wants us to win every deal. Joshua ...
With dozens of toys on the floor, my grandson, Joey, was content playing with the one he had selected. That’s when Addy, my granddaughter, decided that all the other toys were not as appealing as the one Joey had. Addy grabbed the toy away from him. If she could have talked, she would have proclaimed, “Mine!” Galatians 5 teaches, “Now the ...
As shepherds over the flock God has placed in our care, we need to realize that sometimes employees may experience a death in the family, medical emergencies or transportation challenges. These are times when an intentional and proactive approach may be a blessing to your staff. For example, one bank I worked for established a company benevolence fund. Both the ...
Many Christians have heard about the generosity of Hobby Lobby, but there’s another company in Oklahoma City that many locals point to when discussing generosity. The company’s name is Jasco. When I trolled Jasco’s website, I was impressed by not only their extreme generosity, but also by their strategy. Jasco remarkably gives away 50% of their profits to charitable causes, ...
Many business owners believe that the privately-held stock they own in their company has little value until they sell the business. Mark discovered otherwise. Mark leveraged his stock long before selling his business. Mark had his business appraised, then donated 20% of his company stock to a donor advised fund. (That’s basically a checking account specifically for giving.) This gave ...
Over the years, I’ve seen many unique strategies implemented by savvy business leaders to leverage their generosity. The first strategy is donating appreciated assets like publicly traded stock to charity. Mike had been giving cash gifts to our ministry when he discovered a better way. He owned some stocks that had appreciated greatly that he considered selling. Instead, Mike donated ...
Martin Luther was quoted as saying, “There are three conversions: the conversion of the heart, mind and purse.” Many business leaders have heard sermons about being generous givers. But the numbers of those who have moved that concept from their minds to their wallets are few. Recently, a friend told me that his business had been on the verge of ...
