John O’Leary’s Soul on Fire Story: “I love you, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”| Unfolding Short Stories

“I love you, and there’s nothing you can do about it.” Kids make mistakes. Sometimes accidents leave scars that last forever. For John O’Leary, one choice with fire left him burned and disabled. What should have been only tragedy became a story of grace. His family and his community surrounded him, but it was his father’s voice in the hospital that changed everything: “I have never been so proud of anyone in my entire life. I love you, and there’s nothing you can do about it.” That is grace. That is the gospel. John’s journey is now a feature film, Soul on Fire starring William H. Macy, opening October 10.
