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.

After years of trying to persuade a colleague at a former company to join my current employer, I was thrilled when he decided to make the change. I gushed about his skills to anyone who would listen.

Years ago, Kathy and I had lunch with our 94-year-old friend, Cliff. That day, we learned that Cliff’s destroyer was sunk by a kamikaze pilot during World War II. Although many of the crew died, Cliff pulled himself onto a nearby raft. As Cliff tried to help his friend and barber into the raft, two sharks devoured the man right ...
A recent Lifeway Research survey of American Protestant church goers revealed respondents’ expectations for financial blessings. More than three-quarters (76%) said they agree or strongly agree that God wants them to prosper financially.

Cornell professor, Vanessa Bohns, researched 15,000 requests for help to determine how to improve the odds of obtaining a “yes” to our requests. Bohns discovered that those who asked for help received help twice as often as they initially expected. In a Wall Street Journal article, Bohns concluded that her results should give us more confidence in asking without feeling ...
Vanessa Bohns, a Cornell professor, discovered that most people believe the means of communicating a request makes little difference. But, according to the Wall Street Journal, Vanessa discovered that face-to-face requests fared dramatically better than email. Her research found that strangers were 34 times more likely to say yes to a face-to-face request than to an emailed request. In another study, ...
According to a Wall Street Journal article, Cornell professor, Vanessa Bohns, discovered that people making requests tended to think that indirect requests will work just as well as direct ones. Bohns' research discovered that when we ask for help, we often soften the ask by hinting to what we need rather than being clear and direct. There have been times ...
Politics are a passionate pursuit for many in our country, especially when the ideological divide is as vast as it has been recently. There will likely be some dishonest voting and manipulation done on both sides of the political aisle this year. Although we may not be able to prevent immoral activities of others, we can prevent our own. Some ...
Men of action like Moses or Joshua often represent Biblical leadership. But the prophet Ezekiel demonstrated another important leadership trait. Ezekiel was angry that God asked him to leave his home to go prophesize to the exiles of Israel. There was no guarantee they would listen to God’s word. But with God’s hand on him, Ezekiel made the journey. “I ...
One of my favorite undergraduate university classes was Introduction to Astronomy, taught by Dr. James Van Allen. Van Allen was by then a world-famous astronomer, featured on the cover of Time magazine, and for whom the earth’s Van Allen radiation belts are named. Yet this learned man loved to teach undergraduates to share his passion for space science. Paul took ...
