Richie and his wife Brittney

Richie grew up in a family of evangelists. His dad Richard Halversen, who’s worked in evangelism for 40+ years, as well as Richard’s brother (Richie’s uncle) Ron Halvorsen. This imprinted on Richie and would prepare him fohis eventual calling in ministry. However, during high school Richie began experimenting with drugs and alcohol. For years he struggled with drug addiction until finally surrendering to new life in Christ. He now spends his time sharing the hope and healing he found in Christ with others.

He has been married to his wife Brittney for 25 years. They have four children: Kaleb, Hayley, Tristen, and Taylor and a cat named Kitty. They live in the Chattanooga area and love spending time together hiking, cooking, disc golfing and playing games together.
