Texas Youth Summit

Great turnout at UTSA! Hundreds of students gathered to debate, ask questions, and hear different perspectives with Texas Youth Summit Founder Christian Collins. Thank you, Turning Point USA at UTSA, for hosting! 🎤🇺🇸

One of Christian’s favorite verses Charlie ever texted him was 2 Timothy 1:7: “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”

Civil discourse matters. Let’s be happy warriors for truth the way Charlie was—with conviction, joy, and respect for others.

Grateful to see Christian taking part in Turning Point USA’s Pick Up the Mic initiative. His next stop: Texas A&M, October 1!

Onward for Charlie. 🇺🇸

📍 The Woodlands, Texas
📅 October 9–10, 2026

I was in middle school on September 11, 2001.

I remember watching the towers fall. I remember the silence in the room. I remember realizing, even as a kid, that the world I woke up in that morning was not the world I would go to bed in.

Twenty-five years later, I still see those images. Nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered. First responders ran toward the fire. Families across this country—and here in Texas—were changed in a single hour.

We remember them. We honor them. And we refuse to let a generation grow up that treats that day as a footnote.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. The men and women who died on 9/11 did not give their lives so the next generation would forget who we are or why this nation is worth defending.

America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, ordered liberty, and the truth that every person is made in the image of God. That is the inheritance we are called to pass on.

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”
— John 15:13

If you were a child that day, tell your children what you saw. If you were an adult, tell them what you felt. Pray for the families still carrying loss. Thank a first responder. Do not assume the next generation will remember unless we teach them.

That is why Texas Youth Summit exists: to form young leaders who know what this country is, what it cost, and what it is still worth.

I was in middle school when the towers fell.
A rising generation was not yet born.

We will never forget.
We will raise leaders who remember.

Christian Collins
Founder & President, Texas Youth Summit
