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.

Cyber Monday was born out of data. In 2004, according to Scott Silverman of Shop.org, research revealed that the Monday after Thanksgiving was one of the biggest shopping days of the year.

In the 1950s, the Philadelphia police referred to the day after Thanksgiving as Black Friday, due to all the people starting their Christmas shopping. A negative day for police, however, became a great day financially for merchants. Eventually, marketing savvy merchants became concerned about attaching a negative term like Black Friday to their best sales day. These merchants changed the ...

The Gallup Organization conducts an annual poll to determine which institutions are esteemed most by the American people. Year after year, the number one esteemed institution is small business. Even though confidence has dropped to 65% of the population, small business by far still surpasses every other institution’s ranking, even the military.

Many years ago, my old Malibu needed some work. I found a car repair business in a Christian directory that had a fish symbol in their advertisement. I gave them a try. It was a horrible experience. Their level of incompetence was staggering. When I challenged the owner, as a fellow Christian, to make it right, the owner laughed and ...
