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.

In the last year, we’ve had three different government stimulus payments approved. These checks are an unexpected windfall. Many of these payments get deposited automatically into bank accounts. Many faithful givers have systems in place for tithing to their church or giving into their donor advised funds from their pay. But when they receive a windfall, how many pause to ...
Seventeenth century historian, Thomas Fuller, said, “Even doubtful accusations leave a stain behind them.” A stain, a spot or a blip on the timeline of life that cannot be washed away. Being falsely accused hurts and can desolate families. Being falsely accused doesn’t hurt for a moment; it, as Fuller describes, “leaves a stain.” It’s a stain that is hard ...
This year a friend asked me to help with a tax hotline on a local television station. Since I’ve done taxes for over forty years, I thought it might be fun, and accepted. For 3 ½ hours the phone rang nonstop with person after person calling with their tax questions. The work was exhausting, and, it was a little frightening ...
A Harvard Business Review article titled, “Creating Space for Religious Diversity at Work” highlights two principles to respect those of different religions represented in our workplaces. The first principle, discussed previously, was cultivating vagueness. The second principle is to create space. The article examined an Islamic bank in Germany that was led by people of different faiths. The bank established ...
A Harvard Business Review article titled “Creating Space for Religious Diversity at Work” highlights ways companies may respect those with different religions in their workplace. The authors identified two principles to help build what they call an “elastic hybrid organization.” The first principle includes cultivating vagueness around how the organization’s purpose relates to religious practice. An example might be a ...
The Religious Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Index (REDI) was developed to determine the level of faith-friendliness of the Fortune 200 companies. This index ranks large companies on three factors: promotion of religion on their website diversity page, the number of company-sponsored religious employee resource groups, and whether public trainings on religious diversity are hosted. For 2021, Intel and Texas Instruments ...
Theodore Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Comparison, wishing and desiring the gifts others possess leads only to a life of emptiness. Deuteronomy 5:21 says, “You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor’s house or land, his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to ...
Even if you agree with the merits of doubling the minimum wage to $15 per hour, in my opinion, the timing of this mandate should be seriously considered. The industry that uses the most minimum wage labor is the leisure and hospitality industry. The most devastated industry by the pandemic is also the leisure and hospitality industry. If we dramatically ...
In Matthew 20, Jesus shares a story of an employer who went to the marketplace and hired laborers for his vineyard. He agreed to pay the ones who worked a full day a denarius, which was equal to a day’s wage. At five in the afternoon, he hired additional laborers who had been unsuccessful in finding work. Out of generosity, ...
The danger of the federal government mandating a set wage is in the variety of scenarios that the minimum wage must address. Amazon’s ability to pay is much different than the small business owner who lost money last year. The minimum wage may partially shift wealth to frontline employees, but it may also devastate the small business that is barely ...
