Please note, Soul is rated PG. Most of Soul revolves around Joe teaching 22 about life and what makes it great. 22 is a soul who since the time of the ancient Greeks has had the greatest mentors of the human race to try and teach her why she should leave the Great Beyond and go and live. Every one of them failed.
Joe succeeds because, through a series of accidents, he ends up back on Earth as a cat and 22 ends up in his body. She is able to see the joys of life first-hand finally. She starts to see the joy there is in life. What makes 22's journey, and the film Soul, so powerful is the reminder that life is a gift given to us. We may not have asked for it, and it can be difficult for us sometimes, but it is meant to bring us joy and wonder. God created us to experience life and joy. Life is meant to be a gift. In the times when it is hard to remember that, films like Soul can help remind us of what God has given us. Films like Soul can remind us that God intends for us to experience joy and wonder as part of life.
