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 met with a new friend who was carrying a burden of concern for his children. My friend’s father had established trusts for each grandchild to be funded from the success of their family business. In the beginning the trust amounts were modest, but as the business flourished, the trusts had grown larger than the family ever imagined. My ...
On Thanksgiving Day, the race for buying Christmas presents began. Black Friday amplified the season, Small Business Saturday grabbed their fair share and then Cyber Monday excels online. In addition to the Christmas buying season, there’s another important season: the Year-End Giving season. Today is officially Giving Tuesday, but Black Friday is far better known and celebrated than Giving Tuesday. ...
According to new Barna research, 99% of today’s pastors know what the word “tithe” means, but only 43% of Christians do. For the record, tithe means “a tenth, or 10%.” God’s plan and desire for us is to remember that God owns it all. Our paycheck and wealth come from God’s grace. What God asks is that we acknowledge that ...
When Black Friday began in 1975 as a new Christmas marketing idea, there was only one choice for shoppers: go to the store and buy in person. Due to the internet, Black Friday looks much different today. In 2021, 66 million people went to a store on Black Friday, while 88 million people shopped online that day. Predicting how much ...
Every year, Thanksgiving kicks off a series of days designed to primarily maximize retail sales. We have Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday and then, to help nonprofits, there is Giving Tuesday. What started out on Thanksgiving as a day of gratitude, has become, “buy, buy, buy,” throughout the following week. Israel also had a harvest time in ...
According to an annual Gallup poll, 68% of people surveyed trust small businesses in contrast to only 14% trusting large businesses. In 2010, American Express decided to leverage that respect by encouraging shoppers to buy from local businesses on Small Business Saturday. Although Black Friday gets more press, $19.8 billion was spent with small businesses on Small Business Saturday in ...
When I speak with business owners about mission statements, I often hear hesitancy about referencing God in any public statements. Although many know their purpose is to glorify God through their business, they fear proclaiming Him publicly. Some steer the conversation to a famous saying credited to St. Francis of Assisi that says, “Preach the Gospel at all times. Use ...
For about 50 years, King Uzziah was known as a great king. 2 Chronicles 26 says that “the king did what was right in the eyes of God.” With God’s help, Uzziah’s success was vast. But his success eventually ruined him. In 2 Chronicles 26:16, we read, “But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to ...
Recently, I interviewed actor and movie producer, Alex Kendrick. I asked, “If we truly want to follow God, how do we know what size problems to take to God?” Alex gave me a word picture as an answer. He said, “God is not a spare tire. Instead, God needs to be your steering wheel.” Many, including myself at times, ...
Years ago, I spent time with a gentleman in Georgia who had developed ethical training for business leaders based on the Ten Commandments. His application to business was intriguing. As a child, I memorized the Ten Commandments, but that seems infrequent today. In this series, I want to remind us of God’s commands and share how they might impact ...
