Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Integrity Moments is a 60 second workday devotional 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.

My friend, Toby, who has experienced significant business success, was interviewed in the Kansas City Business Journal about his most recent business that didn’t fare too well. The refreshing part of the interview was Toby’s transparency and candor.  

He shared about the pain and embarrassment that comes with a business closing, and the reminder that not all businesses succeed. Toby’s candor about his pain brought back memories of a time in my 20s when I had to close a business.  

The setback was painful, yet, from that tough experience I learned so much. 

Psalm 119:71 says, “It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.”  

Examining lessons learned from our perceived failures can turn us closer to God and provide valuable life insights.
