"I don't know what that book's doing to me," confessed the teenager to BJ Allen during his mission - a moment that revealed the transformative power of scripture. BYU marketing professor Allen shares how understanding Christ's atonement helped him overcome perfectionism and religious OCD. In this conversation, Allen discusses insights from his book, The Compensating Power of Christ, about how Jesus makes up for our weaknesses an aspect of the atonement often overlooked. Through stories of his brother's missionary challenges and personal struggles, Allen shows how Christ's grace completes our insufficient  efforts. His perspective invites listeners to stop measuring worth through achievement and  instead accept that Christ works in our daily lives. This episode speaks to anyone who has felt  they weren't "enough" and explains how the restored gospel uniquely clarifies Christ's role in  healing life's unfairness.
