This powerful true story follows John O’Leary, who survived burns over 100% of his body at age 9 and chose hope over despair. Joel Courtney and John Corbett star in this drama about resilience, faith, family and the ordinary heroes who change lives.
Filmed in many of the real-life locations where O’Leary’s story unfolded, the film follows his life, from his childhood accident to his college years, where he hid behind a mask of confidence and hid his pain through partying, concealing the deep trauma he carried.
Ultimately, it was the love of his best friend and now his wife, Beth, as well as the unwavering support and prayers of his family, that changed the trajectory of O’Leary’s path. Today, he’s a bestselling author, father of four and motivational speaker who uses his platform to challenge others to find their God-given purpose.
“Soul on Fire” is ideal for meaningful family discussion about courage, gratitude and choosing joy, perfect themes for Thanksgiving weekend.
