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.

In this series, we’re discussing different approaches to leading a company through a recession. Some leaders are financially driven who try to limit risk; others are visionaries. When a recession is imminent, the financially driven will usually eliminate staff. But a visionary is different. After 9-11, the airline industry was devastated. Almost all major airlines began massive layoffs. Southwest Airlines ...
According to a Bank of America survey, 77% of fund managers believe a recession is imminent. When recessions are likely, there are typically two types of leaders: visionaries or the financially driven.

In 1995, I left banking to begin ministering to business leaders. My priorities shifted. I convinced myself that putting God first meant putting the ministry first. Eventually, I began using up our retirement funds, putting my family in a financially precarious position. Because I wasn’t listening to my family and others, God allowed me to destabilize my family’s finances. Fortunately, ...
Something I love about the events we host is the different ways God works. Pennie, one of our sponsors in Des Moines, recently shared how she had prayed and loved on her executive assistant for 15 years. Last year, however, Pennie invited her assistant to come to an Unconventional Business Network event. At that event Pennie’s assistant received one of ...

Thirty-nine states have now legalized marijuana in some form. This has increased the business community’s risk. In these states, employees can now legally smoke a joint on break. The difference from cigarettes is that marijuana alters people’s judgment and behavior. This can put employers at risk, especially if your employees are high when driving a company vehicle, or even making ...
My wife, Kathy, loves the study of people. One condition Kathy often discusses with me is narcissistic personality disorder. The Mayo Clinic describes this disorder as, “a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.” Research shows, ...
A new entrepreneur shared with me that he’d recently left his previous employer to venture out and form his own business. Fortunately, his new business began to flourish, resulting in the need for more help. He and his wife decided that she would quit her job to work alongside her husband.

In Matthew 20, Jesus taught the Parable of the Workers. Many focus on the jealousy of the workers who worked all day. Yes, those workers were jealous that the last workers were paid the same as them. But imagine the men hired at five in the afternoon. They had been waiting all day for work. Their gratitude must have ...
In this series, we’re identifying lessons from Jesus on passing the baton to future leaders. After Jesus selected a core team of twelve, He invested even more intimate time with three of them. Jesus selected Peter, James, and John for enhanced learning and to be exposed to more miracles than the others. Jesus prepared these three men for greater responsibilities. ...
