How does Jesus Christ make up the difference when life feels unfair, overwhelming, or beyond our ability to fix?

In this week’s episode of Latter-Day Lights, Scott and Darla Brandley sit down with BYU professor and author, BJ Allen, to explore the concept of “the compensating power of Christ,” and how these unique revelations led him to write and publish his Praiseworthy Award-winning book. What started as a mere desire to better understand one powerful line from “Preach My Gospel” quickly turned into an illuminating study of the Savior’s atonement, and a growing testimony that Christ is far more involved in our daily lives than we often realize.

Through thoughtful examples and faith-centered insights, BJ explains how the Savior not only helps us overcome our own weaknesses, but also compensates for the effects of others’ weaknesses, and the unfairness of mortality itself. BJ’s story is a moving reminder that even when blessings are hard to recognize in the moment, Christ is quietly making up the difference, walking with us through every trial, and drawing nearer to us than we may have yet to understand.
