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 God’s worldview, the strength of a leader is one who embraces humility rather than power. Abe Lincoln once said, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” In my opinion, one character trait undervalued is humility. The craving for power and control can consume many leaders, but Jesus modeled ...
In the book of Malachi, God criticized the Israelites for the ways they dishonored Him. They were no longer tithing or bringing unblemished sacrifices, just to name two of the ways God was disrespected. Despite the majority of Israel treating God poorly, there were those who esteemed God enough to be noted in what God called the Book of Remembrance. ...
If you think about all the large companies in America, many may be led by Christians, but few customers would ever know. A few like Chick-fil-a, Hobby Lobby, or Coca-Cola Bottling are distinctly different because of their faith, but unfortunately the numbers of bold examples seem small. In Malachi, God praised those people who were written into the Book of ...
Graham Walker, former CEO of Fibrebond, refused to sell his company unless the buyers gave 15% of the proceeds to his employees. Due to Walker’s generosity, the average employee received over $440,000. Mr. Walker had no obligation to bless his employees in this way, yet he did. Writing about the rich, Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 6:18, “They are to ...
A bank I audited as a young man had a bank president named Ron. Ron had one of the most profitable and respected banks in our system. Ron cared deeply for his team members, and for his community. Ron watched over each teammate, protecting them from verbally abusive customers and loving and serving them in their times of need. He ...
In this series, we’re talking about leadership lessons I learned from banking. One bank I examined had a bank president named Ken. While reviewing a past due loan report, I was surprised to discover a large loan that was one year past due but not listed on their problem loan list. When I asked Ken about it, he said he ...
In this series, we’re talking about leadership lessons I learned from banking. Mike was a bank president who I would label as a Squeezer. He had a bank that appeared very profitable, resulting in Mike being promoted to a bigger role. When we examined the bank after Mike’s promotion, however, we discovered that he had produced short-term profits by squeezing ...
In this series, we’re talking about leadership lessons I learned from the many bank presidents I observed early in my banking career. My first example is Tom. Many bank presidents wanted a favorable audit, so they typically were somewhat courteous. But not Tom. He came across as aloof and too important to be bothered. Even Tom’s staff described their ...
The Barna research organization recently reported that only three in 10 Christians (31%) strongly agree that they have a personal responsibility to share their faith. The workplace can be a challenging place to share our faith. We can find many barriers, both real and imagined, to discourage faith conversations at work. Yet the workplace also can be a wonderful opportunity ...
As a young banker, I learned a lot about leadership by watching the many different styles of bank presidents I observed. In my role doing bank examinations at that time, I interacted with a lot of front-line people like tellers and loan clerks. The reactions and interactions these people had with the bank president were typically a truer reflection ...
