What if the path Jesus walked to the cross was something you could actually walk today — and what would it teach you about Him?

On this week's special Easter episode, we bring back Dr. Trina Boyce to share more about the Via Dolorosa — an ancient 2,000-foot path winding through the Old City of Jerusalem that traces the final hours of Christ's life, from His condemnation by Pontius Pilate to His burial in the tomb. Christians around the world have been making this sacred pilgrimage for centuries, yet most Latter-day Saints have never heard of it.

Trina walks us through all 14 stations of this powerful journey, uncovering stunning parallels between the sacrifice of Isaac and the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and diving into the rich symbolism hidden inside the Jewish Passover Seder. She also shares what it was actually like to be there — walking ancient stones, hearing hymns sung in dozens of languages, and feeling the Spirit in one of the most spiritually charged places on earth.

Whether or not you ever make it to Jerusalem, this episode will bring the Savior's final hours to life in a way that's both deeply moving and surprisingly accessible — a perfect listen for the Easter season.

What if your hardest moments are actually preparing you to help uplift others?

In todays episode of Latter-Day Lights, Christine Maynor shares a powerful journey of faith shaped through both quiet growth and deep personal trials.

From a childhood rooted in strong values to discovering her voice through faith-centered poetry, she’s learned to turn life’s experiences—both joyful and painful—into meaningful expression.

Her unique approach to poetry—combining backstory and takeaways—makes her message both relatable and impactful.

Her story takes a deeply emotional turn as she opens up about serving a mission outside her comfort zone, experiencing miscarriage, and facing ongoing infertility.

These challenges tested her faith and brought moments of anger and doubt, but ultimately led her to a more honest and healing relationship with God. Through vulnerability, prayer, and support, she discovered that real strength comes from facing pain—not avoiding it.

Despite chronic illness and ongoing uncertainty, Christine continues to move forward with faith, using tools like therapy, gratitude, and temple service to stay grounded.

Her message is simple but powerful: even when life feels lonely, you are never alone—and your story has the power to bring light to others.

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.
