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.
