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.

Last month, Wendy’s floated the idea of using dynamic pricing. Just like Uber and many airlines, Wendy’s considered changing their food prices instantly based on high demand. Imagine going to Wendy’s. When you arrive, you see a cheeseburger is $3 but there’s a long line. When you finally reach the front of the line the board says your sandwich ...
California recently passed a law increasing the minimum wage for most fast-food restaurant employees. There was one exception, however; those restaurants who offer bread as a menu item. Panera’s is one of the few restaurants that fit this exception. When it surfaced that the CEO of Panera’s had donated significantly to California Governor Newsom’s campaign, outrage surfaced. Immediately there ...
“It’s never been done” is a phrase that may deter some, but for many entrepreneurs, it’s a challenge to be considered. Selling books over the internet seemed foolish to many, but not Jeff Bezos. Building electric vehicles when the world was using gas didn’t deter Elon Musk. Even in Biblical times, no one had ever built a boat, let alone ...
At a conference I attended, Ken Reeves, a human resource expert, shared lessons he’s learned in life. One profound insight he shared made my time there worthwhile. You’ve probably heard the adage, “It’s not what you know, but who you know.” Ken expanded that phrase to, “It’s not only who you know, but also who knows you.” I was ...
At 7:30 am there was a loud knock on our front door. We had scheduled an 8:00 start to have our carpet replaced, but when I opened the door, three men charged in ready to work. The man in charge began directing his guys with an urgency I hadn’t seen in some time. Twenty minutes later, I marveled at what ...
When I was a foolish young banker, I was scheduled to work one Saturday morning a month. Rarely was I needed, so I felt justified one Saturday spending the day with my girlfriend instead of going to work. Monday morning, my boss confronted me. He was angry, but he courageously rebuked me in a way that grew my admiration ...
In a Wall Street Journal editorial, Andy Kessler complains that our younger generations are looking so hard for purpose in their work, that they sometimes overlook the actual work that needs done. His article reminded me of an old adage, “You are so heavenly minded, that you are no earthly good.” Personally, I believe that God does have a purpose ...
My friend, Jim, is a retired CEO who, over the years, assumed leadership in multiple floundering organizations. Jim’s experience revealed that a toxic culture can take five to six years to heal. Jim learned, when you try to change a culture, 20% of your workforce will typically embrace the change. 60% will be neutral, but the remaining 20% will ...
The Church of England’s Synod recently declared that they “affirm the dignity and value of purposeful work, whether paid or unpaid, as a significant component of human flourishing.” In addition, the Synod recognized the value of the Bible by affirming, “to look at Biblical wisdom on work, employment and economy in its widest sense; and to consider a range of ...
Many people believe it’s fine to lie to the Internal Revenue Service about their taxes and still maintain integrity. When I was a commercial lender, I was meeting with a small business owner who, while handing over his tax returns as part of his loan application, said, “I sure hope you aren’t making your loan decision based on those numbers. ...
