This is a story of hope, faith, and purpose you'll never forget.

Actor Joel Courtney and inspirational speaker John O'Leary connect with nine-time Emmy winner David Sams to share the real-life miracle behind the upcoming film Soul on Fire, a powerful true story of survival and redemption hitting theaters October 10, 2025.

At just nine years old, John O'Leary survived a devastating explosion that left him burned over 100 percent of his body and with less than a 1 percent chance to live. Decades later, his journey from unimaginable pain to living with unshakable purpose has inspired millions through his bestselling books, On Fire and In Awe, as well as his Live Inspired Podcast.

Now, his story comes to life on the big screen with Joel Courtney (Jesus Revolution, The Kissing Booth, Super 8) taking on the role of John. In this heartfelt conversation, Joel shares how he prepared for such an emotional and challenging role, the incredible cast he worked alongside — including William H. Macy, John Corbett, and Devon Franklin — and the unforgettable moments on set that brought this true story to life.

John opens up about seeing his life portrayed on film for the first time, the role faith and family played in his healing, and the message of hope he hopes audiences will carry with them long after the credits roll.

Whether you're looking for inspiration, strength to face your own challenges, or a deeper look behind the scenes of one of 2025's most anticipated films, this episode will move you to tears and ignite your own soul on fire.
