Miracles in the Ordinary with John O'Leary of "Soul on Fire" Film

“God works through ordinary people to remind us of what miracles look like in action.”

John O’Leary was on the verge of death when he was nine years old. Like many kids, he copied something he saw some older boys do. But the result was catastrophic.

John caused an explosion in his parents’ garage, which left burns over 100 percent of his body. Doctors didn’t expect him to survive.

Yet John did.

In this week’s “mini-retreat in a podcast,” hear directly from John O’Leary as he shares stories of what happened, how God saved his body and—ultimately—his soul.

Discover how ordinary people in John’s path ignited his will to live and set his heart on fire for God.

Learn how your heart can be set ablaze by the love of God, too.

Watch “Soul on Fire”—the story of John O’Leary—and bring friends! Learn more at soulonfiremovie.com.

From Picture-Perfect to Authentic with Jonna Schuster of Catholic Revival Ministries

Jonna Schuster aimed for picture-perfect faith.

Until everything started to fall apart.

Jonna’s perfectionist tendencies left her drained and unhappy—she even started having health problems. 

When Jonna attended a silent retreat with Passionist Nuns in Kentucky, everything changed.

While a blizzard raged outside the chapel, Jonna knelt alone inside. She felt the indescribable touch of God—like she was being held in His hand. 

Over time, Jonna learned to let go of her habits of self-sufficiency and people-pleasing. She experienced the newfound freedom of being her authentic self with God and others. 

Listen to Jonna in this series, “Women of Wisdom,” and be blessed with the kind of internal freedom that only comes from God.
