71. More Than a Role: Actress Masey McLain Talks Faith, Purpose, and Trusting God Through Every Season

We would love to hear from you! Text us any feedback.

What if the season you’re calling a drought is actually sacred training? I sat down with actress and creator Masey McLain for a candid, deeply encouraging conversation about conviction, calling, and the new feature film Soul on Fire—where she portrays Beth O’Leary. From growing up a pastor’s kid to turning down roles that crossed personal lines, Masey traces the steady thread of choosing God first and letting the work follow. 

We go behind the scenes on The Baxters and the serendipity that landed her favorite character at exactly the right time. Then we step into Soul on Fire: why this story of resilience, faith, and purpose feels urgent right now, and how set life was shaped by a real soul on fire—John O’Leary—who sees people, not flash. Masey unpacks agape love in action, the power of words that speak life, and a richer meaning of “helper” from Genesis—a fierce battle partner who pushes back darkness and brings in the light. It’s practical for marriage, friendship, and parenting, and it’s a blueprint for how to show up in life.

You’ll hear why opening weekend truly matters for impact and distribution, and you’ll leave with a renewed sense of purpose you can act on today. Bring your family, invite a friend who needs hope, and “vote with your dollars” to keep stories like this on the big screen. If this conversation sparks something in you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs the reminder, and leave a review—then grab your tickets to Soul on Fire and tell us who you’re bringing.
