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.

Personal debt can dramatically impact our work. Years ago, as a consultant, I was reviewing personality profiles with employees when I discovered one employee’s report had no data.

Several partners started their business desiring to honor God. After adding hundreds of employees, this organization discussed with me ways to assure they remained focused on pleasing God in the future.

If their staff has little knowledge ...
George was the owner of a machine tooling business who years ago hired me to develop a financial plan for his business.

The Rev. Clint Schnekloth in Fayetteville, Arkansas, recently wrote an encouraging article for the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette about the importance of our faith in the workplace and how our work blesses our “neighbors.” As a Lutheran pastor Clint quoted Martin Luther as saying, "If you find yourself in a work by which you accomplish something good for God, or ...

This study revealed that 44 percent of millennials who meet with their manager on a regular basis reported being engaged in their work.

Many people have been brainwashed to believe that their job isn’t important to God unless they are a pastor or missionary. Due to this flawed view, I have worked hard to change this mindset. In an article on Christiantoday.com subtitled, “If I Don’t Love My Job, Does That Mean It’s Not God’s Will For Me?” In this article, the author ...
When Integrity Resource Center began growing into other cities, we hired a part-time person to manage events. She did a great job, but I hadn’t yet put any systems in place for scheduled performance reviews. Two years later she took a different job. During her exit meeting, she shared that she wondered at times if she was measuring up, because ...
At our youngest daughter’s recent wedding shower, I witnessed, and personally experienced, a communication gap. Bekah’s future father-in-law only speaks Spanish, but she doesn’t know Spanish, making it difficult to communicate with him. Through a translator, Bekah’s future father-in-law has personally encouraged Bekah to build a better relationship with her new family by making an effort to learn Spanish. In ...
