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.

One of the unconventional concepts in the Bible is generosity. Imagine when the Israelites first learned of God’s requirement to give the first ten percent of their harvest to God.

In 1621, the Pilgrims found themselves in dire straits. When they settled in Plymouth, they were malnourished and ill, unfamiliar with the area and struggling to survive. Then God brought them Squanto. Squanto took pity on the Pilgrims and helped them establish a new business venture—a farming operation that specialized in corn, a product unfamiliar to the Pilgrims. Waiting and ...
I’ve made my share of business mistakes over the years. Sometimes the scars of those mistakes leave shame and doubt. Questions surface in my head like, “Was I listening properly to God?” or, “Do I have a clue what I’m doing?” Peter carried shame after he denied Jesus on three different occasions. Jesus brilliantly knew Peter needed to be forgiven ...
