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.

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 ...

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 ...

Stephen Phelan, Movement Mortgage’s Chief Pastoral Officer, recently shared about three common employee needs within the workplace.

85% – The New Standard

Over the years, I’ve worked with people who grind towards perfection, only to be stress-ridden and still disappointed in the end results.  The Wall Street Journal recently wrote about a better approach – aiming for 85% completion vs. 100%. Some research and many expert’s observations have discovered that striving for 85% produces better overall results.  Many perfectionists don’t realize that ...

According to a study by Rice University, those who live in the South more frequently experience expressions of faith in the workplace from evangelical Christians than in other parts of the country.

Someone forwarded me an article and asked, “What do you think about this competing program?” My response was, “A rising tide lifts all boats.”   In my opinion, the more people involved in promoting faith and work, the better. The number of organizations in this field has grown from about twenty-five when I started, to an estimated four thousand.  Because of ...

When my flight home began loading, I thought, “We’re only 8 minutes late. That’s pretty good for a Friday afternoon.” Unfortunately, that wasn’t the whole story.  For the next two hours we sat on the tarmac in a very hot plane. For the first hour there was almost no communication about why we were waiting.   In the second hour, we ...

Years ago, when I experienced dry spells in business, I found myself anxious about the lack of cash flow. When you’re wondering how you’re going to cover payroll, life can be very stressful.   In the story of Job, we see an amazing response to the most terrible of circumstances.  After Job lost all his children and all his possessions, his ...

After leaving public accounting, I read an article about used car rentals. Thus began an adventure that led me to start my first business which taught me many valuable lessons, including why not to start a business.  One morning, during below zero temperatures, it became clear to me that I had no passion for renting cars. There are many reasons ...
