Danny B. was enrolled in Christian school until the 1st grade, after which he became homeschooled all the way through high school. Throughout this time, Danny was raised to believe that things like bad math skills, and being bullied at church camp, could only be resolved through prayer.

After a tumultuous childhood involving accusations of demonic possession, food being withheld as punishment, and other symptoms of a high-control environment, Danny realized that figuring out who he was outside of religion and control depended on him, and seeking help from outside sources to unravel his past, and pave the way for his future.
