20 Years. One Little Idea. And Plenty to Talk About.
From the early days of DVDs and television interviews to today’s world of streaming, digital learning and children’s media, Little Leaders founder Bradley Silvius has spent more than two decades building a faith-based children’s brand—and navigating nearly every transformation in media along the way.
What Could We Talk About?
Every great conversation starts somewhere. Here are a few topics Bradley can bring to podcasts, interviews, and conversations about faith, family, media, creativity, and entrepreneurship.
Building a Brand That Lasts
Lessons from more than two decades of building and sustaining an independent children’s media property through changing markets, technology, and distribution.
Faith, Family & Entrepreneurship
What it means to build a business around a mission, involve family in the journey, and keep purpose at the center as the company grows and evolves.
From DVDs to Streaming
A firsthand look at how children’s media has changed—from physical media and traditional television to streaming, YouTube, and today’s digital-first world.
What Are We Teaching Our Kids?
Why the entertainment young children consume matters, and how faith, values, education, and fun can coexist in preschool media.
The Independent Creator’s New Toolbox
How emerging creative technology is expanding what small teams can produce—and what that means for independent storytellers and media companies.
Starting Small. Dreaming Big.
The unexpected opportunities, setbacks, persistence, and long-term thinking behind taking a simple idea and building something that lasts.
More Than Bible Stories. Built for Developing Little Minds.
Little Leaders was created around a simple idea: faith-based children’s media can do more than tell a Bible story. Our programs combine biblical foundations with early learning and development through three core pillars.
Bible Stories with Real-World Learning
Every story becomes an opportunity to learn. Noah introduces children to animals. Joseph explores colors. Moses makes numbers and counting fun. Ruth helps children understand respect—all while introducing young viewers to timeless biblical stories and values.
Opening Little Ears to a Bigger World
Early childhood is a wonderful time to introduce children to the sounds, rhythms, and patterns of other languages. Little Leaders uses multilingual content to make that exposure natural, playful, and accessible—helping children become familiar with a broader world of communication.
Communication Before Words
Young children often have ideas and needs they want to express before spoken language fully catches up. Introducing simple American Sign Language signs gives little hands another way to communicate familiar ideas while encouraging visual attention, purposeful hand movement, and early interaction.
Three pillars. One purpose: helping little children grow in faith, learning, and communication.
Hear the Story Behind Little Leaders.
Bradley joined his alma mater’s Cedarville Stories podcast to share the heart behind Little Leaders, the role faith and family have played in the journey, and how a small idea grew into a multimedia platform designed to help little ones learn, communicate, and grow in biblical truth.
“We just have to be willing and faithful. Then we let God grow what He wants to grow.”
From DVDs to Streaming. The Story Keeps Growing.
Little Leaders has spent more than two decades adapting, creating, and finding new ways to reach families—while staying grounded in the same mission that started it all.
Taking the Little Leaders Story to the Airwaves
In the early years, Little Leaders grew from a family-built children’s DVD company into a story that attracted television, radio, and print attention across the country.
Those conversations introduced audiences to a new approach to faith-based preschool media—one designed to entertain little ones while teaching biblical and early-learning concepts.
Expanding What Little Leaders Could Become
As the media landscape changed, Little Leaders continued to grow—expanding its programming, developing multilingual learning and American Sign Language content, creating books, and reaching families through new distribution channels.
The format changed. The mission didn’t.
Twenty Years Later, the Conversation Continues
Today, Little Leaders lives across streaming, digital learning, books, interactive activities, and educational resources—while continuing to evolve for a new generation of families.
And after more than two decades, there are still new stories, new technology, and plenty of lessons from the journey worth talking about.
Little Leaders has been part of the conversation for years.
