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.

Recently, I spoke with a woman who moved across the world to help one talented artist build his business. Her skills and work helped him become famous and produced millions in revenue.   His fame eventually led to arrogance. He became verbally abusive and disrespectful to this woman, even in public. Her complaints to him about his abusive behavior have fallen ...

Guilt Tipping

If you’ve been in a coffee shop recently, you’ve likely been prompted to choose a tip amount even before receiving any coffee. It can become easy to tip out of guilt when the interested party stands over you.   Guilt can be a form of bondage, causing a person to do something begrudgingly, rather than out of a grateful spirit. God ...

The History of Tipping

According to time.com, tipping started after the Civil War. After the abolition of slavery, many former slaves went to work for restaurants and railroads.   These institutions found a way to exploit former slaves by hiring them for no pay, but with the promise that their customers would tip them if they worked hard.   Over time, the federal government encouraged this ...

In 1958, Patricia Haroski was working as a secretary for her father’s State Farm agency. She wanted to honor her father on his birthday, October 16th.   Furthermore, she decided to honor all bosses as well. According to Wikipedia, she registered a holiday with the US Chamber of Commerce called Boss’s Day.   The holiday hasn’t been widely accepted, however, partly due ...

My friend Jay is a visionary who sees opportunities where others see waste. Being a creative entrepreneur, Jay realized that a lot of businesses, especially retail-oriented ones throw out discontinued or dated inventory that still has value if placed in the right hands.   That birthed Agape Inventory Donation.   Jay has partnered with many businesses who have inventory that would have ...

Last year, I made a $10 mistake on my personal tax return that resulted in the IRS demanding $175 in penalties. Although it’s cheaper and probably smarter to send them a check, I just couldn’t let it go. Especially since according to the tax code, I don’t owe any penalties.   When I experience an injustice, I tend to fight until ...

Years ago, I had a bank customer named Floyd. Floyd never spoke poorly about anyone else.  One of Floyd’s employees stole Floyd’s trade secrets and started a competing business, even after Floyd had helped obtain this man’s release from prison.  Despite the wrongs this former employee committed, I was surprised when Floyd’s only comment was, “Well, he must be pretty ...

This last year I’ve heard multiple stories about retail store chains closing stores due to theft. This is especially true in cities where police protection has declined dramatically.  In addition, more stores have implemented policies demanding that employees not pursue shoplifters. Although there are safety reasons that may legitimize these policies, the result is even more crime.  When criminals ...

Our pastor, Tim, recently shared a story about becoming desensitized. Years ago, Tim was asked to speak at a youth camp.  When Tim first opened his cabin door, he gagged due to the rank smell of urine. When he asked his cabinmate how he could stand the smell, his cabinmate shrugged unawares.  Days later, Tim’s wife visited. When she ...

Meaningful Conversation

We recently hosted a local networking event. One of our guests stopped me and shared how encouraged they were by our networking because it gave them an opportunity to have meaningful conversations with like-minded business leaders.  According to our guest, many networking events feel shallow and function mainly to sell products or services. Our networking events tend to create ...
