Summary
In this raw and unforgettable episode of The Plain Values Podcast , photographer Eric Brown opens his studio in rural Eastern NC and his life. He talks with Marlin about his time in Nashville, family, and the six miraculous years with his daughter Pearl … born with holoprosencephaly, doctors called incompatible with life. Eric shares the gut-punch diagnosis, the choice to welcome siblings into the room, the relentless care, and the beauty that flooded their home like Kodachrome. Pearl's death in 2018 left a void: his theology cracked, the darkness crept in, and alcohol numbed. But in the end, Christ alone held everything together.
