What do you do when the people who were supposed to protect you… become the source of your deepest wounds?
In this unforgettable episode of Latter-Day Lights, author Calvin Bagley shares his extraordinary journey from isolation, abuse, and “no-schooling” in the Utah desert to faith, healing, and freedom. Once a boy who hid from the school bus, Calvin now helps others overcome trauma and reclaim their lives through faith, therapy, and unconditional love.
His new memoir, Hiding from the School Bus, reveals how the power of Christ—and the courage to face your pain—can turn even the darkest beginnings into a life of purpose.
