The Real Story Behind The Exorcist: A Theologian Explains What Actually Happened with Brian Shelton

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Brian Shelton to discuss his new book Theology of a Diary, a theological exploration of the real events behind The Exorcist. Brian unpacks the spiritual, historical, and doctrinal context surrounding the case that inspired the film. We talk about how the church has understood demonic activity, spiritual authority, and pastoral discernment in moments of spiritual conflict. This conversation brings clarity, depth, and Christian insight to one of the most misunderstood stories of the last century.
