Trailer For COERCED: The Devotion & Death of Mica Francis Miller
Descripción del Episodio
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.
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.
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.
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.

Cuerpo y Consciencia con Susana Gamboa
By shows
Respira, Reconecta y Recuerda ay algo que no te han dicho… y probablemente no te va a gustar escucharlo: 👉 No estás tan bien como crees. Si no puedes dormir… si te irritas fácil… si necesitas ruido constante… si te sientes "exitoso", pero en el fondo no estás en paz… Este no es otro podcast de desarrollo personal. Es una confrontación contigo mismo. En este trailer, Susana Gamboa abre una conversación incómoda pero necesaria sobre lo que realmente está pasando dentro de ti: No es tu mente. 👉 Es tu sistema nervioso. Y mientras no lo entiendas… vas a seguir reaccionando igual, aunque creas que ya trabajaste en ti. Este espacio es para quienes están listos para dejar de sobrevivir… y empezar a sentirse vivos de verdad. Respira. Quédate. Este puede ser el inicio de algo distinto.
