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.

I remember how scared we were, back in 2013, the first time we created a One Page Plan for our company that included our mission, vision, values, and short-term goals.

Likewise, many businesses fear if they don’t win every job, then there ...
Tom, a friend in the construction business, offered a bid on a big job that he felt was critical to win. He prayed and prayed to be selected for this project, only to learn that one of his competitors had been selected.

Years ago, I worked for a bank led by someone who had a cousin also working in the banking business. They were fierce competitors and at times my boss made irrational decisions when his cousin’s bank was competing for a loan. Competition can be healthy or unhealthy depending upon the motives driving decisions. Jealousy and envy can lead to badmouthing ...
Years ago, two friends came in for some counsel. They desired to start a partnership to rehab houses, and they wanted to do it carefully. Knowing that conflicts are inevitable, I recommended that they formalize a partnership agreement before buying any houses. In addition, I encouraged the two friends to address how they would handle any future conflicts. After leaving ...
I received an email that reminded me that some people believe Paul’s “unequally yoked” principle, found in 2 Corinthians, doesn’t apply to business; while others take it to the extreme of avoiding doing business with even customers who don’t profess to be Christians. Twice in King Jehoshaphat’s life he formed alliances with other Kings known for their wickedness, and, suffered ...
Lucy had a new consumer product and a need for significant cash. Some investors tempted her with funding, but she feared partnering with people who don’t share her faith and her passion for generosity. After prayer and counsel, God provided a new option that still allowed Lucy to walk-out her faith without being unequally yoked. The Apostle Paul wrote in ...
Years ago, I started a consulting practice with my friend, Gregg. As 50/50 partners, I hoped Gregg would provide half of the start-up capital, but that wasn’t possible at that time. From the sale of a bank I had worked at, I received enough money to fund the start up. But, I didn’t want to let go of my money. ...
Four close friends launched a business. After years of losses and questions about the future direction of the company, Tammy, one of the partners, called me for advice.

As much as Tammy enjoyed working with her friends, she ...
