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 movie, “Breakthrough,” teenager John Smith drowned in Lake St. Louis, but miraculously recovered. The first doctor who treated John wrote in his medical records: “Patient dead. Mother prayed. Patient came back to life.” I’m sure many doctors wrestle with how much of healing comes from their work, and/or the medications prescribed, versus God’s handiwork. John Smith’s doctor witnessed some ...

An article by the JB Griffin Group states, “Having a cell phone use policy could help people understand what’s expected of them, but a no-tolerance policy will likely feel punitive and overbearing.” The article highlights the importance of striking a balance between setting expectations, having an awareness of business risks and understanding the employee’s perspective. These three legs of the ...
According to an Association of Psychological Science article, when customers are wronged, there are three critical factors in an apology.
