Luke Richey began coding software at age 14, including work for NASA, and went on to build and sell multiple successful startups. He made a lot of money, lost a lot of money, made some wise decisions, and many terrible ones. A selfish narcissist, he reached the point of taking his own life… except he survived. What followed was a series of extraordinary encounters that led to a radical transformation through Jesus Christ.Today, Luke and his wife Jennifer, are on a very different mission. Nearly half of the world’s population (c.3.88 billion people) play video games. For Gen Z and Gen Alpha, gaming isn’t simply entertainment, it’s where they build friendships, develop identity, and spend much of their free time. These digital worlds have become the neighborhoods of the next generation. They are also places where predators, grooming, exploitation, addiction, bullying, and other forms of harm can flourish.Luke and Jennifer are the co-founders of Haiven, a company on a mission to transform these digital spaces into places of safety, belonging, and hope. Through their work at Gravity Jack and Haiven, they are helping shape legislation, influence the future of online safety, and build AI systems that protect children while empowering healthy communities. Their vision is simple: if billions of young people are growing up in digital worlds, Christians cannot afford to ignore them. These digital spaces represent one of the largest mission fields in history, and one of the greatest opportunities to bring light into places that desperately need it.What a story! ▶️ Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hwz_BnJA9YkContact: [email protected] Website: https://haiven.ggX: https://x.com/haiven_ggYT: https://www.youtube.com/@Haiven-gg/Insta: https://www.instagram.com/haiven_ggTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@haiven_ggFB: https://www.facebook.com/haiven.incLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/107795877---📚 Help us send children back to school in Burundi❤️ Support our work in Burundi: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspired💡 Stunning 2-min short film 'Searching for my Father's Killer'---▶️ Subscribe to us on YouTube📸 Follow us on Instagram: @inspiredwith.sg📲 Weekly episode WhatsApp link: greatlakesoutreach.org/whatsapp📧 Weekly email notification: greatlakesoutreach.org/inspiredemail🇧🇮 GLO Burundi WhatsApp ChannelFor more from Simon, visit: simonguillebaud.comChoose Life daily or weekly email to stir your faith: chooselife.org.uk---🌍 Produced by Great Lakes Outreach - Transforming Burundi & Beyond: greatlakesoutreach.org
