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 January, Tom Phillips, former CEO of Raytheon, passed away. In his Wall Street Journal obituary, there’s a story of a Harvard undergraduate who asked Mr. Phillips if he believed there was a contradiction between his Christian faith and running a missile manufacturing company.

Some leaders refuse to admit their mistakes. Instead, they double-down and add another lie to the situation, holding fast to their original position. Sometimes, due to pride, leaders hold fast even with irrefutable evidence that they are lying.
