Listen To Current Coverage On The True Sunlight Podcast or Ad-Free from LUNASHARK Premium on Patreon or Supercast
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.

The Binge Crimes: What Happened to the Harrisons?
By shows
From the outside, 3635 Pitch Pine Crescent looked like the kind of home where nothing bad could happen, the gathering place for every birthday and holiday. Until one spring night when tragedy struck. In less than five years, three people would end up dead in the same house. Each time, the authorities found a way to explain it away. But the family who loved them knew something was wrong. Host Amy Dempsey Raven, an investigative reporter for the Toronto Star, spent more than a decade asking what really happened inside that house.
