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.

Years ago, Advice and Aid Pregnancy Center in Kansas had an opportunity to purchase the building adjacent to Planned Parenthood. But they had no excess cash.

POW Network is an organization that investigates military imposters. Their website claims, “More imposters lie about earning high military declarations for battlefield bravery than the actual number of real-life hero recipients.” It’s tragic that imposters are dishonoring our veterans for their own personal gain. Some imposters do it for the ability to scam money from others, others do it for ...
