Soul on Fire: Community Beyond the Credits
Soul on Fire is a powerful new feature film that celebrates the resilience and strength of the burn survivor community.
The film is about the true story of John O’Leary. Over the past several weeks, Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors partnered with John O’Leary - Live Inspired and their friends at World Wide Technology, as well as hospitals, organizations, and supporters nationwide to host exclusive, free private screenings of the film.
These screenings were an opportunity to come together, share in the impact of the story, and connect with the burn community in your area–but the journey doesn’t end when the credits roll.

More about Soul on Fire
Soul on Fire is a true-story feature film based on John O'Leary's memoir On Fire: The 7 Choices to Ignite a Radically Inspired Life. Directed by Sean McNamara and written by Gregory Poirier, it chronicles the inspiring journey of John O'Leary, who was miraculously healed from burns over nearly his entire body, to overcome trauma, discover purpose, and embrace a life of hope and impact.
Why This Story Matters
A Miracle Survived — As a young child, John O’Leary endured burns over 100% of his body with virtually no hope of survival. His recovery is nothing short of miraculous.
A Journey of Healing — From navigating physical and emotional trauma to finding healing through love, family support, community, and faith, John’s story is a testament to the human spirit.
A Call to Inspired Living — His later decision to share his story sparked a global speaking ministry with over 2,700 events, inspiring countless others to choose hope, courage, and purpose
