Christian Collins is the founder and president of Texas Youth Summit, which he established in 2019. Raised by missionary parents who pastored a church, Christian entered college as a liberal Democrat and identified as agnostic. Listening to Rush Limbaugh helped him become a conservative in his junior year, and a book by Lee Strobel helped him return to Christian faith in his senior year. That journey shapes his work with the next generation.

A seminary graduate, licensed minister, and author of Second Wind, he is a featured speaker with Turning Point USA’s Speakers Bureau and has served on the teams of Governor Greg Abbott and Senator Ted Cruz. He and his wife, Dr. Jincy Collins, live in the Houston area.
