Summary
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.
