At nine years old, John O’Leary was burned on 100% of his body and given no chance to survive. Today, his miraculous story is the inspiration behind the major motion picture “Soul on Fire,” releasing in theaters on October 10th.Matthew West sits down with the incredible John O’Leary for a conversation about his journey of overcoming the impossible. John shares how God took his greatest liabilities and turned them into his greatest assets, and how a life that the world saw as broken has become a powerful testament to God’s redemptive power. This is a story that proves when the world sees something impossible, God says, “Watch me work.”This conversation is a profound reminder that God is with us in our darkest moments and that every storm eventually runs out of rain.

John O’Leary’s journey from a nine-year-old burn victim given less than a 1% chance of survival to a bestselling author and world-renowned speaker is nothing short of extraordinary. His story of resilience, faith, and purpose reminds audiences that adversity can be the spark that fuels transformation—and that every challenge holds the potential to ignite something greater within us all.
