Christian Collins is the founder and president of Texas Youth Summit, which he established in 2019. His work focuses on winning the culture war by strengthening biblical convictions, defending religious liberty, and equipping the next generation to engage confidently in public life.

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; 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 pro-life speaker, Christian equips pastors and churches to mobilize congregations for political engagement from a biblical perspective. He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in Government and holds an M.A. in Organizational Communication and an M.A. in Christian Ministry from Liberty University. He also organizes a National Day of Prayer breakfast in The Woodlands for faith leaders.

He is the author of Second Wind: A 365-Day Devotional to Pursuing God’s Greater Calling and the host of The Christian Collins Show, where he engages audiences on faith, politics, and culture. He is a featured speaker with Turning Point USA’s Speakers Bureau. He received Maverick PAC’s 2024 Future40 recognition for conservative leaders under 40 and is a fellow of the Club for Growth Foundation.

Christian is the founder and president of Collins & Co., LLC, offering strategic communications, organizational growth, coaching, and personal development. His experience includes serving on the teams of Governor Greg Abbott and Senator Ted Cruz, and working as a campaign manager and senior advisor to multiple members of Congress. In 2022, he ran for Congress in Texas’s 8th District. He also teaches Speech Communication at Lone Star College, specializing in public speaking and networking.

Christian and his wife, Dr. Jincy Collins, live in the Houston area with their dog, Oakley, and cat, Reagan. They enjoy traveling together; Christian has visited all 50 states and all seven continents.
