Pastor J.P. Miller preached about marriage, submission, and a wife's duty to her husband while his own wife, Mica Miller, was desperately trying to escape him. Mica accused J.P. of tracking her movements, harassing her with dozens of calls, interfering with her finances, sabotaging her car, and posting a nude photo of her online. Then, just days after filing for separation, 30-year-old Mica was found dead from a gunshot wound in a remote state park. Her tragic death was ruled a suicide, and authorities found no evidence J.P. was involved. But what investigators uncovered about the months leading up to Mica's death would eventually land the controversial pastor at the center of a federal criminal case—and expose allegations of a marriage far darker than anything he preached about from the pulpit.FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE wherever you are listening!Join our Patreon family!

Most of us would say that we're a pretty good person. We have faults, but our hearts are in the right place. But if our hearts are truly in the right place, then why do we keep doing wrong things? Why do we still hurt people, act selfishly, or lash out in anger? Why don't our actions fit our ideals? Pastor J.D. answers that question as he continues our study in Psalms called, Question Everything.

Mark chapter one presents five powerful scenes that reveal who Jesus truly is. His authority amazed crowds, silenced demons, and healed the sick, all pointing to something far greater than a miracle worker. He is Lord, and He invites every person into a real relationship with Him, not just a transaction. The deeper question each scene raises is personal: are you seeking Jesus for what you can get, or are you surrendering your whole life to His lordship? No darkness, no shame, no past, and no sin is too powerful for Him. He is willing to meet you exactly where you are. The leper who knelt before Jesus and said 'If you will, you can make me clean' received an immediate answer: I will. Whatever your 'if' is, bring it to Jesus and trust that He is willing.https://www.ankenyfree.church

What is prayer at its most basic level? Is it a wish list that we send up to the genie in the sky, a way to unleash the power of positive thinking, or a ritual we have to go through to gain God's favor? Or is it just a waste of time, telling God things he already knows? Fortunately, prayer isn't any of those things! Pastor J.D. takes a fresh look at the basics of our faith as he continues our series called, START.

Alexandra Hudson explains that civility isn’t about being polite—it’s about recognizing the inherent dignity of others, even in deep disagreement. She shares how true civility requires moral courage: the willingness to engage in hard conversations, challenge what’s wrong, and still see opponents as equals, while rebuilding trust and connection in the fractured, polarized culture. She calls each of us to make an impact for Christ right where we are, by treating one another with respect. SUPPORT REFOCUS! GIVE HERE!

In chapter after chapter of Ecclesiastes, we're given principles for how to live wisely in a world of hevel. But these principles aren't meant to merely help us "survive" life in this broken world—ultimately, they're preparation for a day we will all face: the day when we stand before God. In this week's message from Ecclesiastes 10–12, Pastor J.D. encourages us not to dread this day but to anticipate the beauty of what it actually means: the end of all pain and futility, and the most glorious reunion with our great Savior.

Pastor J shares the sermon "A Short Time Here But A Long time Home" from Colossians 3. Recorded live at Doran Wesleyan Church.

For most Christians, reading the Bible is like getting a shot. We know it's good for us, but it's not something we look forward to. But is that really how God wants us to approach his Word? That's our subject as Pastor J.D. continues our series called, START.

It seems more than just counterintuitive to say that “the day of death is better than the day of birth.” After all, who in their right mind would rather attend a funeral than a birthday party? But this is exactly the kind of view that Solomon advocates, because it's only by thinking about life from the perspective of our death that we learn to live wisely. In this week's message from Ecclesiastes 7, Pastor J.D. reminds us how, in light of how short our lives are, it makes no sense to chase after what is fleeting. Instead, we should leverage our lives to invest in what will serve to advance God's kingdom long after we're gone.

What does the story of Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9 teach us about grace? David's kindness to Jonathan's son gives a powerful picture of unearned favor, adoption, belonging & a permanent seat at the King's table. In this message, Pastor J.R. reminds us that grace comes looking for us even when we feel broken, unworthy, or disqualified. Just like Mephibosheth, we don't have to fix ourselves or earn our place—we can receive the grace Jesus freely gives us. Though Mephibosheth's feet were still broken, his seat had changed, reminding us that our circumstances don't determine our identity or our place with God. Because Jesus paid for our seat at the table, we can stop striving to earn His grace and confidently receive the belonging, adoption, and new identity He offers.

Sometimes, we view our faith as a checkbox on a list. We go to church on the weekends, check that box, and move on. But in this message, Pastor J.D. reminds us that Jesus isn't one part of our life, he's first in everything.

What does it mean to be saved by grace? Ephesians 2 says our problem is deeper than bad behavior, and salvation is something God does before it is something we do. In this message, Pastor J.R. explains that Ephesians 2:1–5 describes us as spiritually dead in our sin, unable to save ourselves through trying harder or becoming better people. Through the words “But God” (Ephesians 2:4), we see that God moved toward us first, making us alive through His mercy, love, and grace. Ephesians 2:8–9 reminds us that salvation is a gift, not a reward, and while grace is free to us, Jesus paid the price so we could receive His righteousness, mercy, and life. Pastor J.R. challenges us to stop trying to get our lives together before coming to Jesus and instead receive His grace, making today our “But God” moment.

Pastor J.D. cautions us about treating Jesus like an a la carte menu. We'll see that we can't take Jesus and “a little bit of this” and “a little bit of that” as we continue our series called, First: The Preeminence of Christ in Colossians.

“For everything there is a season …” You might recognize these words (“turn, turn, turn”) as lyrics to a song made popular in the '60s. But thousands of years before that, they were written as the opening of a poem in the book of Ecclesiastes about the cyclical nature of life. Just as we have no control over summer turning to fall, we can't alter the cycles of life. There is indeed a time to be born and a time to die, a time to laugh and a time to weep. In this week's message from Ecclesiastes 3, Pastor J.D. gives us helpful principles for not only navigating life in a world we can't control, but enjoying it for what it is: a gift from God.

Pastor J. Bryant Lagoe Wednesday Evening 8/26/26

In the book of Colossians, Paul makes it clear that Jesus is not just a character in God's story; he's the author of the story. He's before all things. He's above all things. He's first in all things. In light of who Jesus is, Pastor J.D. asks one simple but revolutionary question: Is Jesus just important to you, or is he truly first in your life?

You’ll likely notice a common message in the ads and marketing that surround us: the accumulation of more things equals happiness. But with a “never enough” mindset, it’s impossible to be what God desires us to be: cheerful givers. In this message from 2 Corinthians 8–9, Pastor J.D. helps us to see a kind of giving that is motivated not by guilt, but as a response to the grace that we have received. When we have this as our focus, we can move from asking, “What must I give?” to “What do I get to give?”

The book of Ecclesiastes is often regarded as one of the most confusing (and perhaps depressing) books in the entire Bible. But the truth is, it's one that raises—and provides real answers to—some of the core questions of life. In this week's message from Ecclesiastes 1, Pastor J.D. addresses three common approaches that the world takes to finding meaning in life. These approaches, it's no surprise, come up short time and time again. And that's because the only satisfying answer for “life under the sun” is actually to embrace life above the sun—that is, life with God, the only one who truly imbues our lives with meaning.

In this message, Pastor J.R. Lee teaches that forgiveness doesn't mean the pain wasn't real, it means we choose freedom because what Jesus did for us is greater than what was done to us. When painful memories return, we can remember God's mercy, release the case into His hands, and trust Him with justice instead of trying to collect the debt ourselves. We're also called to replace our response by praying, blessing, and choosing good rather than allowing one person's hurt to shape how we see everyone else. Forgiveness may need to be chosen again and again, and choosing it again doesn't mean forgiveness failed, it means we are continuing to walk in freedom while healing takes time. Ultimately, we can tear up the invoice, surrender our right to repay, and trust Jesus with the pain because we don't have to feel free to choose freedom.

We’re likely familiar with the call from Jesus to seek the kingdom of God above all other things, but our financial decisions are one indicator of what we are truly seeking. In this message from Haggai 1–2, Pastor J.D. encourages us to consider how our giving reflects the priority we have placed on God in our hearts and lives. Just as the Israelites fell to the temptation to place their own comforts and priorities ahead of their worship of God, we are still susceptible to this today. By reorienting our hearts, we can ensure that the stewardship of our finances is in alignment with God’s kingdom.

A legacy is inherently something that reaches far beyond us, making an impact long after we’re gone. So how do we approach the stewardship of our money in a way that leaves a lasting legacy? In this message from Luke 16, Pastor J.D. takes us through one of Jesus’ parables to show us how leveraging our resources for eternity truly is the wisest course of action. If we believe that everything ultimately belongs to God, this will radically change the way in which we handle our finances.

Upon reading example after disastrous example from Israel's history, it's tempting to just give up and throw in the towel. After all, if these previous generations weren't able to avoid stumbling and falling, what hope is there for us? In this week's message from the last six verses of Jude, Pastor J.D. shows us that the answer is found in one action: to keep ourselves in the love of God. But it doesn't end there. Because the Christian life is meant to be lived in community, we also have a responsibility to help others who are struggling—even at the expense of our own comfort.

In this message Pastor J.R. teaches that unforgiveness creates an internal debt that can keep us chained to the people and wounds of our past. Forgiveness does not minimize what happened or pretend the debt was never real, but instead releases our desire to personally collect what we feel is owed to us. He explains that we must count the cost, honestly acknowledge the hurt, and then close the account by trusting God with justice rather than demanding personal payment. Pastor J.R. emphasizes that forgiveness and reconciliation are not the same, because forgiveness is freely given while trust is earned and access is determined by wisdom. Ultimately, because Jesus canceled our much greater debt through the cross, we can choose to forgive others and tear up the invoice instead of allowing their repayment to control our peace.

In this final message from our series through 1 Corinthians, Pastor J.D. walks through Paul's final, rapid-fire exhortations. Often what we learn from others is more caught than taught, and the final chapter in this book exemplifies that truth. As Paul bounces from topic to topic—principles on giving, the need for courage, dealing with opposition, discerning God's will—we see a snapshot of a faithful Christian life. And in seeing it, we are encouraged to “go and do likewise.”

In this Easter message, Pastor J.D. explains that whether or not the resurrection is true, we should all want it to be true. In 1 Corinthians 15, we see that this incredible news is, in fact, true. Jesus has entered into our greatest fear—death—and has defeated and overturned it forever. And because he lives, everything has changed.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 15, Pastor J.D. takes a look at how Paul responds to some of the Corinthians who are saying there's no resurrection of the dead. In his answer, Paul shows them that belief in our bodily resurrection is as core a Christian concept as you can get. It's not a secondary or peripheral belief; it's at the core of Christian hope.

In this message from 1 Corinthians, Pastor J.D. walks through what some might call “the rowdy chapter” of Paul's letter, the one about spiritual gifts of tongues and prophecy. As a church, we should be open to and desirous of these spectacular gifts, being careful to avoid fleshly limitation and pursuing them in the way the Bible instructs us to.

If you've ever had the unfortunate experience of discovering termites in your home, you know the frustration of realizing that surfaces that you thought were solid are actually badly damaged. Sadly, a similar thing happens in many churches when false teachers creep in unnoticed, harming a church from the inside. In this week's message from the first four verses of Jude, Pastor J.D. shows us how we see the manifestation of this kind of corruption in the church today. It is only when we are clear on what the gospel truly is that we are able to guard against this danger and preserve the faith entrusted to us.

In this message from 1 Corinthians, Pastor J.D. talks about a topic as popular as it is misunderstood—love. Our society seems smitten with notions of love, but at the same time, we don't seem to live in a fairy-tale land of love and grace. What does real love look like? And once we understand it, how can we, tangibly, become more loving? A dive into 1 Corinthians 13 shows us the most profound, powerful, and counter-cultural description of love ever written.

In this message from 1 Corinthians, Pastor J.D. takes a look at the topic of spiritual gifts. According to the Apostle Paul, God didn't establish his church as a collection of individuals, but as an interconnected body. I need you; you need me. Where do we see that interconnectedness most? In our spiritual gifts. None of us—and none of our brothers or sisters—can truly flourish until we know and exercise our gifts. In God's community, everybody has a special role to play. Every. Body. Including you.

In this message from 1 Corinthians 11, Pastor J.D. picks up the most fundamental element of Christian worship—the bread and the cup of communion. When we share this meal together, we aren't merely remembering Jesus' last meal. We are entering into his presence. Come to this table. There is no place for religious pride here. No place for classism. No place for racial division. But there is a place for you.

In this message from our “Cutting Through the Noise” series, Pastor J.D. walks through one of the most confusing and misinterpreted passages in the entire New Testament. Along the way, we'll learn just how relevant first-century head coverings are for the hot button questions about gender (and gender identity) in the twenty-first. And we'll see that in Christ's service, every brother and sister finds unimaginable grace, inestimable value, and eternal purpose.
