- Number 1: 1) What Happened To Mica Miller? Unraveling Evidence Of Abuse She Left Behind
Listen To Current Coverage On The True Sunlight Podcast or Ad-Free from LUNASHARK Premium on Patreon or Supercast On April 27, 2024, Mica Francis Miller — a 30-year-old Myrtle Beach woman in the middle of divorcing her pastor husband, John-Paul Miller — called 911 from a state park in Robeson County, North Carolina. It would be the last time the world heard her voice. Ten days later, her death was ruled a suicide. But Mica's story is anything but typical — and she left behind a trail of evidence she wanted the world to find. In the premiere of our remastered Drop-Feed series, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell return to where their reporting began: the bizarre sermon Pastor JP Miller delivered the morning after his estranged wife's death. An obituary that reads like a taunt. A criminal history that includes running over a woman with a car — twice. And a stack of police reports showing Mica tracked, harassed, and hospitalized against her will in the months before she died. Police say that JP Miller didn't pull the trigger. But as Mandy and Liz explain — there's more than one way to end a life. This series discusses domestic abuse, coercive control, and suicide.

- Number 2: 2) Red Flags & Receipts... Mica’s Best Friend Charlotte Exposes JP Miller’s Texts
In 2017, Mica Francis Miller met Charlotte Korn at Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach — the same year, it turns out, Mica had secretly married her pastor, John-Paul Miller. Charlotte didn't know it yet, but she would spend the next 7 years watching her closest friend try to survive that marriage. This episode is remastered from our original reporting on the True Sunlight Podcast — where Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell first sat down with Charlotte to trace the full scope of Mica's story. Charlotte describes a marriage built on a foundation she didn't understand until much later: a secret ceremony timed around a surgery and a bipolar diagnosis that followed a bad reaction to anesthesia. She remembers how beloved Mica was at Solid Rock Church, involved in nearly every ministry. And the night in November 2022 when Mica fled for a few days, and JP responded by texting Charlotte directly, threatening to show up "armed and ready." But more than that, Charlotte wants people to remember who Mica actually was: the friend who apologized even when she’d done nothing wrong, some who always asked how she could honor God a little better, and a beautiful friend to everyone she met.

1h 8min - Number 3: 3) The Terrifying 2022 Incident That Changed Everything For JP And Mica Miller
On the evening of November 16, 2022, Mica Francis Miller's sister called 911 from her home in Gaffney, South Carolina. Her husband, Pastor John-Paul Miller, had texted that he was "armed and ready" and on his way. Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell, remastered from their original True Sunlight Podcast reporting, walk through that night's 911 calls and JP's texts to Mica, swinging from guilt to scripture to threats. Twelve days later, Mica was hospitalized at Waccamaw Center for Mental Health — not by JP Miller, but by her sister. Police records show JP tried to remove her from the facility before officers intervened, then told friends she was having a bipolar episode while telling her brother she might be committed for months. The day she was released, Mica signed a healthcare power of attorney giving JP control over her medical care and organs. It sat unfiled for sixteen months, until someone quietly filed it in March 2024 — weeks before her death. This series discusses domestic abuse, coercive control, and suicide.

50min - Number 4: 4) Bathhouses and Bible College… The Troubling Past of JP's Felon Father Rev. Wayne Miller
John-Paul Miller didn't invent his playbook — he inherited it. In this episode, remastered from True Sunlight Podcast reporting, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell trace the rise of JP's father, televangelist Wayne Miller: the 1970s "Good Morning Jesus" broadcast empire, a 500-acre compound called Gloryland, and 1987 allegations that he made sexual advances on his bible college students. Wayne claimed a "credentials committee" cleared him of wrongdoing. Mandy and Liz found that committee's paperwork, and its first listed member is Wayne Miller himself. The episode also traces the suspicious fire that leveled Gloryland, Wayne's 2006 indecent exposure arrest, and his 2014 federal felony convictions for exploiting foreign bible college students. Two decades before Mica ever filed for divorce, Wayne's own wife Susan described a nearly identical playbook — a wife painted as unstable, a church turned against her. Understanding Wayne Miller is understanding JP Miller. This series discusses domestic abuse, coercive control, and suicide.

48min - Number 5: 5) Like Father Like Son... Divorce Documents of JP Miller’s Parents Show Pattern
Mica Francis Miller's father-in-law, pastor Wayne Miller, and his 2001 divorce from JP Miller's mother Susan reveal a chilling blueprint for what would later happen to Mica herself. In this episode, remastered from True Sunlight Podcast reporting by Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell, court filings from Wayne and Susan’s divorce show a pattern of coercive control, financial punishment, and church-backed retaliation against a pastor's wife trying to leave. Susan accused Wayne of violence and control; he blamed the church's "dropping income" on her, canceled her health insurance, and had church employees try to reclaim her car — all while claiming to be broke running the ministry he founded. When Susan pushed back, Wayne painted her as unstable and vindictive to the congregation, a narrative JP would later use against Mica almost word for word. JP was in his early twenties, watching all of it. Susan Miller survived her divorce from a Miller man. Mica did not survive hers.
