John-Paul Miller's decades of alleged behavior are finally being brought into the light. Remastered from True Sunlight Podcast reporting by Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell, this episode covers Miller's 1999 conviction for hitting a woman with his truck twice, and the 2019 pardon hearing where JP minimized the assault and misrepresented his own family and church.

JP's first divorce, from wife Alison Williams in 2015, followed his affair with Mica Francis Miller becoming public. Alison's affidavit describes JP's history of alleged misconduct with teenage girls at Solid Rock Church, restricted overnight visitation with his own daughter, and an unsettling detail from Alison's own account: the husband of a woman linked to JP romantically died in a drowning accident shortly after confronting JP.

This series discusses domestic abuse, coercive control, and suicide. If you or someone you know needs support, please call or text 988 or contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. Support in South Carolina is also available through Liza’s Lifeline.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1) What Happened To Mica Miller? Unraveling Evidence Of Abuse She Left Behind

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.

Trailer For COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 04:01:00 -0000

COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller is a⁠⁠ ⁠LUNASHARK® ⁠⁠⁠DROP-FEED from the award-winning team behind the Murdaugh Murders Podcast — investigative journalists Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Beth Braden — along with producers Kate Thomas, Grace Hills and David Moses. It’s a remastered, chronological retelling of more than 2 years of original reporting from the⁠⁠ ⁠True Sunlight Podcast⁠⁠⁠, built for listeners who want to follow one case.

On April 27, 2024, 30-year-old Mica Miller — wife of Myrtle Beach pastor John-Paul Miller — walked a mile into a North Carolina state park and made a 911 call that would be the last time the world heard her voice. Within days, her death was ruled a suicide — a ruling that would have ended the story for most true crime journalists.

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.

COERCED takes a deeper look at JP Miller’s dark past that includes rape allegations, alleged bestiality, an assault conviction and pardon, and a pattern of allegedly abusive behavior that can be traced back to his father — Rev. Wayne Miller. JP’s felon father once owned a Christian complex in South Carolina called Gloryland… before it mysteriously burned down.

Through exclusive interviews, 911 calls, court filings, and documents obtained through relentless FOIA requests, COERCED examines coercive control, medical and spiritual abuse, and the systems that dismissed a woman fighting for her life — and asks what accountability looks like.

Mica couldn't save herself. But her story could save others.
