I sat down to brainstorm with Brannon Hollingsworth at Brainy Pixel for an upcoming news and podcast interview. Check out how this conversation is shaping up.
There’s a quiet revolution happening in the world of media—a reshaping of how families discover truth, hope, and meaning through stories. With the recent cuts to NPR and PBS, we’re witnessing a significant shift. People aren’t just tuning out traditional platforms—they’re tuning in to something more eternal. And right now, faith-based media is on fire.
A Movement That’s Gaining Ground — To set the stage, just look at the momentum:
– The Chosen TV Series – Reached over 280 million viewers in 175+ countries, translated into 50+ languages, and crossed $120 million in box office revenue. by 5+2 Studios
– The King of Kings (2025) – Opened at $19M, earned $56M worldwide, and landed an A+ CinemaScore.
– House of David (2025) – Pulled in 22 million viewers in just 17 days, hit #2 on Prime Video, and was renewed for a second season. by Wonder Project
– The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (2024) – Grossed $40M+, with 97% audience approval, and praised for being “wholesome family entertainment.”
– Adventure Bible Comic Style – Crossed 1 million copies sold, making the Bible accessible and fun for a new generation of readers.
There’s a cultural appetite for stories that don’t just entertain—but uplift, anchor, and restore.
Super Scout, Rescue Missions, and Eternal Purpose
During the interview, Brannon shared the heart behind Super Scout, Brainy Pixel’s upcoming animated series inspired by real-life rescue stories. It’s not just another adventure show—it’s a redemptive response to trauma, designed to show kids what hope looks like in the face of darkness. That’s the kind of project that makes you pause and realize you’re not just drawing pixels—you’re shaping worldviews.
“Pixels With Purpose” Isn’t a Slogan—It’s a Mission
Brannon unpacked what it means to create animation with eternal impact. At Brainy Pixel, every storyboard is filtered through Scripture, prayer, and purpose. It’s not about preaching—it’s about planting seeds through compelling characters, immersive worlds, and Gospel-rooted storytelling.
When I asked about the tagline, Brannon smiled. “Pixels with Purpose,” he said, “means every frame matters—because every soul matters.”
A Global Collaboration for Kingdom Creativity
From alliances with Creator Films to Mercy Ways Studio in El Salvador, Brainy Pixel is proving that the Gospel isn’t bound by borders or budgets. It’s a global movement of artists, writers, animators, and producers rising up to take back ground in media with excellence and truth.
Chronicles of Faith: David – A Blueprint for What’s Possible
Brannon also spotlighted Chronicles of Faith: David, one of their flagship series. Rooted deeply in biblical narrative and executed with cutting-edge design, the series shows how faith-forward storytelling can captivate Gen Alpha without watering down the message.
A Call to Join the Movement
Brannon’s final encouragement was both bold and simple: We need more voices, more churches, more partners who see the urgency and the opportunity. The harvest is digital—and it’s ready.
As I walked away from our conversation, one thing stuck: Faith-based animation isn’t fringe anymore. It’s frontier. And Brainy Pixel isn’t just drawing characters—they’re building bridges between screens and souls.

Let’s build more pixels with purpose.
