He was taught to hide when the school bus came. Literally. In this jaw-dropping conversation, Calvin Bagley shares how growing up isolated on a rural Utah farm shaped a life marked by fear, shame, and control...and how he fought his way into freedom. We talk religious trauma, rebuilding faith after spiritual abuse, therapy, healing childhood wounds, and learning the difference between fear-based religion and real love. Calvin also shares the unlikely road from being “no schooled” to earning his GED, attending college, and building a life of purpose. His memoir Hiding From The School Bus is proof that your beginning does not define your ending.
