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.

This week I want to explore five views on business that run counter to the Bible’s worldview. Each view, however, builds on the first business paradox. In the 1980s Milton Friedman, a famous economist, proclaimed that “the only purpose for business is profit.” Many leaders embraced Friedman’s view, striving for enhanced profits at all costs. In 1987, this worldview was ...
This week we’re discussing “three things the Lord requires of leaders” according to the prophet Micah: doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly. In Corporate America, walking humbly can be counter-cultural. While visiting the offices of one of our event sponsors I noticed a room being prepared and filled with tables and chairs. I was informed that each year the ...

Many countries compete vigorously to host worldwide sporting events. Last year, several leaders of FIFA, the organization that selects the FIFA World Cup soccer locations, were arrested for allegedly receiving over $150 million in bribes to steer the location of the next two World Cup events!

CEOs of publicly-traded companies are under immense pressure for short-term performance. Their largest shareholders often consist of fund managers who are looking for immediate financial results. These fund managers are paid to care more about quarterly profits than they are the communities these businesses serve or what’s good for society as a whole. But what does the Lord require of ...
Taking a day like President’s Day to be reminded of great leaders and their past struggles is a helpful way to inspire and shape the culture of a nation. Businesses have the same opportunity! Hebrews 11 highlights several heroes of the faith like Abraham, Moses, and Gideon and chronicles their experiences to encourage us by their past struggles and victories. ...
When President Abraham Lincoln was asked if God was on the side of the “Union” he reportedly said, “Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.” In the business world we are constantly making tough decisions and it may be easy to beg ...
In my youth, my peers were very competitive when it came to dating so I felt obligated to find a Valentine’s Day date to avoid their verbal abuse. On occasion, due to time pressures, I would line-up a date with someone with whom I really had little interest. My pursuit of any possible date led me to disrespect others as ...
Kathy and I recently downsized into a smaller home. We hired a moving company we had used twice before to help move our furniture. This time our experience was disappointing. The crew they sent were nice guys, but inexperienced. Our walls were banged up, light fixtures and staircase railings were broken, and some mirrors and pictures were shattered. Broken items ...
At a conference I attended last year, I heard Doug McMillon, CEO of Wal-Mart, discuss some thoughts on navigating the conflicts in his family and work calendars. For him, he decided early on to attend his children’s activities as frequently as possible. Imagine having to choose between a business meeting impacting billions of dollars, and his son’s sporting event. A ...
