Message from Mica Miller’s Husband
John-Paul Miller gave a quick update about Mica’s death, mentioning her struggles with mental health. Then, he asked for prayers and support for Mica’s family, who are still here.
“Please pray for me, my children, and everyone. You all knew she was struggling with her mental health and it was difficult to get her medicine. There will probably be more information later, but please keep her family in your prayers.”
The pastor mentioned taking some time off for his church members and encouraged them to keep donating to the church while he’s away. He wasn’t sure when he would be back, saying he might need a break for a few weeks or even months.
Looking Into What Happened

Potential Link to Divorce
People on the internet are connecting Mica Miller’s recent divorce filing with what her husband said, suggesting her death might not be straightforward. Some doubt if she really took her own life. It’s been revealed that Mica asked for legal protection from her pastor’s husband because she was scared for her safety.
She had apparently told her family that she was afraid her husband might hurt her and make it look like an accident or self-harm. The divorce papers were filed last October but were canceled in February. Then, Mica filed again, this time with a request for legal protection. The papers were given to her husband two days before she died.
