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.

When I was a young and foolish 25-year-old, I read an article about a new business concept called “Rent a Wreck.” After leaving public accounting I was searching for my next career, so I started a used car rental agency.

In the 1880s, Henry Crowell bought an oat mill to provide feed for horses. The business was struggling when Henry turned to God in prayer for a creative solution for his business woes.

To remain competitive in your field, it is vital that accolades are shared across every team member, recognizing that each person brings a ...
Are you able to allow someone else to make a decision? Or do you give the responsibility for a decision to someone else only to take it back? Taking back previously given responsibility compromises your leadership and undermines your staff. Jeremiah 8:4 says. “Thus says the Lord: When men fall, do they not rise again? If one turns away, does he ...
As a nonprofit leader who raises money, I have found that my motives are sometimes less than pure. There are occasions when I’m with wealthy business people who need counsel or prayer. As someone who loves to help others, I’m quick to assist them. But at times, my mind drifts to thoughts of them writing the ministry a big check ...
Google conducted “Project Oxygen,” a multiyear research initiative, to identify manager qualities that enhanced a given team’s success.

Robin’s family has a moving business, now run by her brother, Jim. Robin shared with me that one client hired Jim to move a heavy safe into their basement.

Customer service complaints and issues are common in almost every business. Often, despite our willingness to help, those doing the complaining are unwilling to be part of the solution. It can be frustrating, regardless of how many solutions are presented, that the person on the other end of the line still seems combative or dismissive. Colossians 3:23 says. “Whatever you ...
Many businesses choose to hire a successor CEO from outside their organization, which is often necessary, but can prove riskier. Some of the best transitions I’ve witnessed happened when the future CEO worked under the existing CEO for a season. This method can provide for a smoother “hand off” and the ability to make course corrections if problems arise during ...
The Peter Principle says if we continually promote high performers, we will eventually promote them to a level of incompetence.
