Katie's life has been filled with darkness and confusion, stemming from fears and trauma in her teenage years.

When she was diagnosed with autism in her thirties, it explained many of her teenage storms. She developed a more intimate relationship with God when she heard the

"Bless the Lord" sermon series, but realized that she had to find a new church home where she had no memories of her ex-husband's adultery.

Warrior for Christ

She was led to Destiny Church where she is loved and has freedom to serve God. God miraculously healed her from her past! Katie is a warrior for Christ who is unwavering in her faith! She prays those who read her testimony will see God's light in the midst of their storms and experience God's love, peace, and freedom just as she has.

"They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony." -Revelation 12:11

Collin Einsmann

Age: 33 | From: Florida | Profession: Operations Consultant

Rooted in the heart of Naples, Florida, I’ve spent 30 years navigating the sun-soaked beach and swamp landscape of my hometown. As a proud father of two young daughters, I embrace the daily challenge of shaping strong, independent women while instilling the core values of faith and resilience that are the backbone of our family.

Recently my journey into Christian apologetics ignited a fire within me to delve deeper into my faith, turning every question into a battle for truth and understanding. In my off-hours, you’ll find me honing my Jiu-Jitsu, trying to get lost int the woods learning various bushcraft skills, and hitting the driving or shooting range for some target practice — each pursuit a testament to becoming a more humble and technical man I pray to one day embody.

I played a pivotal role in launching and operating the largest indoor shooting facility in Naples. Today, I channel that passion into my work as an operations consultant, partnering with local trades companies to drive efficiency and success. One of my greatest achievements is the partnership with my wife in homeschooling our daughters. Together, we forge a solid educational journey that is both nurturing and deeply rooted in biblical principles, preparing them to tackle the world head-on.

As I look forward, I'm on a mission: to learn through Christ the best way to spread the Word of Christ and raise up the next generation, to multiply multipliers—teaching them that there is an objective value of truth, no weakness in meekness, and an unyielding desire to make a small impact for a Big God.
