Integrity Moments

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.

When Kathy and I returned to church, we would throw $5 in the offering plate mostly out of guilt.

The meaning of Christmas has been highjacked before. According to Wikipedia, in the 17th century the Puritans banned the celebration of Christmas, because it became known for drunkenness and other mischief.   Although Christmas was restored in 1660 as a holiday it still was in disrepute and not a prominent celebration until the 19th century thanks to Charles Dickens and other ...

Those people who claim victimhood will often have their hands out looking for help, taking whatever they can from others.   These people often borrow as much money as possible with little care about how they are going to repay the debt.   On the other extreme are those who ...

There are certain chapters in the Bible that seem to overflow with pearls of wisdom. For wise business counsel, I find great treasures in Psalm 37.   As a young man, I was frequently around a mechanic who had a quick temper.
