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 1968, Paul Ehrlich’s book, The Population Bomb, proclaimed that overpopulation was going to cause a worldwide famine. Ehrlich wrote, “By 1985 enough millions will have died to reduce the earth’s population to an acceptable level, like 1.5 billion people.” His urgings of mandatory population control resulted in millions of unborn and aborted babies. Despite Ehrlich’s flawed predictions, he still ...
Christopher Columbus was an explorer and innovator. He had a theory. He believed he could sail west, instead of east, to reach India. No one had ever attempted this approach and his flawed theory could have resulted in a disastrous outcome. Columbus chose to be courageous and follow his dream. Although he did not find India, Columbus’ courageous adventure resulted ...
An article by the Small Business Chronicles states, “A firm, strong handshake transmits your underlying confidence in yourself and your abilities.” Simply stated, a handshake delivers information about whether the client or stranger should put his or her trust in you or in your abilities. Zechariah 8:16-17 says, “Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that ...
In a Harvard Business Review article, Professor Iddekinge’s research reveals that past work experience has little to do with future performance. Instead, he recommends employers focus on knowledge, skills, and employee traits. Employee traits are often personality traits that fit certain professions. For example, if you’re hiring a bookkeeper you wouldn’t want to hire a visionary with no detail orientation. ...
In a Harvard Business Review article, Professor Van Iddekinge reveals that past work experience has very little to do with future performance. Instead he recommends employers focus on knowledge, skills, and traits of the employee. Let’s discuss skills next. Early in my marriage, our bathroom sink was not working properly. I worked for hours trying to fix the sink but ...

After reviewing 81 studies, Professor Van Iddekinge found little correlation between an employee’s prior work experience and their performance. Hiring decisions are often based on past experiences of a prospective employee, but now this Harvard Business Review research tells us experience has little impact on future performance! When the professor was asked what employers should focus on instead, he encouraged ...
A recent article by The Discovery Way states, “Nothing can produce better results and ultimately a better impression than maintaining a positive, can-do attitude.” Something as simple as a good attitude will go a long way to building strong relationships with both internal and external customers. Philippians 2:14 says, “Do all things without grumbling or disputing.” The Bible is clear in its ...
Our circumstances sometimes are so bleak that we can’t see the possibilities God has in mind for us. Moses told the Hebrew slaves that despite being in slavery for 400 years, God was about to release them. But Moses’ first attempt to reason with Pharaoh resulted in Pharaoh punishing the slaves by making their work even harder. The Israelites became ...
Uncertainty is not a friend to business leaders. When a business leader adds staff, they desire to have some assurances that business volume will be maintained, if not increased. When the markets start to fluctuate, however, and the economic news becomes questionable, anxiety can increase dramatically. This doesn’t provide much comfort for those leaders making business decisions. There is a source, ...
