QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“In times like these you need a SaviorIn times like these you need an anchorBe very sure, be very sureYour anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock! This Rock is Jesus, Yes He's the OneThis Rock is Jesus, the only OneBe very sure, be very sureYour anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock!”~Ruth Caye Jones, 1943 “When one's hope is properly set on God, fixed upon His promises and founded upon His Word, that hope does not fail.”~Jay E. Adams “We wait for the Lord;he is our help and shield.For our hearts rejoice in himbecause we trust in his holy name.May your faithful love rest on us, Lord,for we put our hope in you.”~Psalm 33:20-22 (CSB)SERMON PASSAGEHebrews 6:9-20 (CSB) 9 Even though we are speaking this way, dearly loved friends, in your case we are confident of things that are better and that pertain to salvation. 10 For God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you demonstrated for his name by serving the saints—and by continuing to serve them. 11 Now we desire each of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the full assurance of your hope until the end, 12 so that you won't become lazy but will be imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance. 13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself: 14 I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you. 15 And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise. 16 For people swear by something greater than themselves, and for them a confirming oath ends every dispute. 17 Because God wanted to show his unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. 20 Jesus has entered there on our behalf as a forerunner, because he has become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

We don't always respond the way we should. When someone comes at us with harsh words, we feel the need to not only defend ourselves but often to strike back. Today Pastor Ricky reminds us of our Savior who endured everything for our sake and through it all, He never responded in sin. Not once did He speak biting words for the sake of hurting somebody. Instead, He responded only in calm silence and honesty. Don't doubt your Savior because He's proven His faithfulness to us a hundredfold.

There are people out there who don't mind going against the crowd but not everyone is comfortable with it. It can be a scary thing to speak out against so many voices. Today Pastor Ricky reminds us that going against the flow is essential to the Christian life. There are going to be times when you feel all alone in your principles. Remember that even the apostles couldn't always stand the pressure. But know that there are a sea of people that are clinging to the same rock as you, the solid rock of Christ.

Panic is never a solution. In moments of crisis or uncertainty, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and reactive. By cultivating equanimity, we can sidestep panic and instead approach challenges with a level head. This doesn't mean we ignore our feelings but rather that we create a mental framework that allows us to address issues rationally and calmly. Connecting with our inner stillness can lead to clearer thinking and more effective decision-making. All sentient beings fundamentally desire to be happy, healthy, and free from suffering. Despite the diversity of our circumstances, we are united by this common aspiration. This understanding fosters compassion and empathy towards ourselves and others. It reminds us that behind every reaction, there is likely a story of struggle and desire for peace. 

At Solid Rock Community School in Tarpon Springs, every item that comes out of the cafeteria is 100 percent plant-based. Families can even order vegan to-go meals to take home and eat for dinner. That puts Solid Rock in a pretty small group of K-12 schools in the U.S. that are completely plant-based. The idea for a plant-based cafeteria came from Solid Rock's founder and executive director, Michele Fasnacht, who started the school in 2004. The K-12 private school also offers programs like gardening, culinary arts and veterinary education alongside academics.The Zest team met up with Michele in the school office. In our conversation, she explains why she overhauled the school's menu. In this episode, you'll also hear from some Solid Rock students about what they think of the cafeteria food now. Thanks to Louise Krikorian for suggesting this episode.

Many of us thought we were building our lives on the Rock, until our child died, and we found ourselves in the sinking sand. Last week Laura shared from the hymn The Solid Rock as a springboard to talk about that. This week, Laura continues the conversation, using a second hymn to share how she […] The post 286: How Can I Trust God Again? appeared first on GPS Hope.

Betrayal in the Pulpit: The Scandal Surrounding John-Paul Miller  A new lawsuit has been filed against South Carolina pastor John-Paul Miller and his father, Reginald Wayne Miller, accusing them of sexual abuse, predatory conduct, and using their church as a shield for misconduct spanning decades. The allegations have gained renewed attention following the tragic suicide of John-Paul's wife, Mica Miller, last spring. According to the lawsuit, in 1998, when Miller was 19, he allegedly sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl at All Nations Church, where his father served as pastor. The complaint states that Miller lured the girl into his father's office before taking her outside to his truck, where the assault allegedly took place. The lawsuit asserts that the Millers carefully crafted an image of religious leadership while privately engaging in abusive behavior. Church leadership was allegedly aware of John-Paul's history of legal troubles, a child born out of wedlock, and a pattern of reckless conduct, yet failed to intervene. The same woman, identified as "Jane Doe," claims that in 2023, she encountered Miller again in Myrtle Beach, where he allegedly assaulted her a second time. When confronted, Miller reportedly attempted to justify his actions by referencing scripture, saying, "No man is without sin and temptation. God understands that." The lawsuit alleges that church leaders neglected their duty to protect members, despite being aware of misconduct. John-Paul Miller has been under scrutiny since his wife, Mica Miller, died by suicide on April 27, 2023. Just two days prior, she had filed for divorce. Her body was discovered with a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Lumber River State Park, North Carolina. Prior to her death, Mica had reported to police that she was being tracked. Investigators later confirmed that John-Paul and a woman he was allegedly involved with were not in Robeson County at the time. Following her death, John-Paul was arrested in November for assault and battery after a confrontation with protesters outside his church, Solid Rock at Common Market. That same month, the FBI searched his Myrtle Beach home, though details of the investigation remain undisclosed. The lawsuit also raises concerns about the financial dealings of the Millers and their ministries. As legal battles escalate and public scrutiny intensifies, John-Paul Miller's once-respected reputation continues to unravel. #MicaMiller #SouthCarolina #ChurchScandal #JusticeForMica Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Passage: 1 And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!” 2 And Jesus said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” 5 And Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one leads you astray. 6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!' and they will lead many astray. 7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet. 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. (Mark 13:1-2, 5-8, 31 ESV) Song: Bet All I Have on You (https://open.spotify.com/track/10yGXd0DVrMzz38v1tlKbo?si=598d052a41a94099) by Jessica Ray Langdon and Natalie Taylor Leonhardt, The Solid Rock by Edward Mote and William Batchelder Bradbury Lyrics: There's so much that I don't see But I see You but I see You And there's so much that I don't know But I know You but I know You And there's so much that I don't understand But I have seen Your goodness And it's just enough that I'll Bet all I have on You I bet all I have on You I bet all I have on You I bet all I have on You 'Cause only a fool would find real love And just give it up I bet all I have on You I bet all I have on You I don't have the answers yet But I have You but I have You When I don't know who I can trust I can trust You I can trust You 'Cause I've heard a song that I can't ignore Like a current pulling me toward You It's enough and I'll Jesus You're worth it I bet all I have on You I bet all I have on You I bet all I have on You I bet all I have on You I bet all I have on You My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness I dare not trust the sweetest frame But wholly lean on Jesus' name On Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sand Prayer: This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen. -The Book of Common Prayer

Solid Rock 2024 - Wolfram Nilles Wie passt die Existenz des moralisch Bösen, die scheinbare Willkür durch Naturgewalten, oder auch die zerplatzten Träume im Leben von Menschen mit einem Bild von Gott zusammen, der die Liebe in Person und gleichzeitig allmächtig ist? Das ist eine zentrale Frage, die immer wieder gestellt wird, wenn wir mit Menschen über den Glauben sprechen. Das ist aber auch eine Frage, die an uns nagt, wenn wir selbst - oder Menschen, die uns nahe stehen - von Leid betroffen sind. Auch wen es keine simple Antwort auf diese Frage gibt, so gibt es sehr wohl biblische Fingerzeige, die uns eine hilfreiche Richtung aufzeigen und uns Trost und Hoffnung spenden. Literaturempfehlung: "Wie das Licht nach der Nacht" - Joni Eareckson Tada / Steven Estes (https://clv.de/Wie-das-Licht-nach-der-Nacht/255645#bcdc/classic/m=and&q=wie+das+licht+nach+der)

For years, Sam Rickman cherished his role as a bassist at Solid Rock Church, where he not only shared his musical talents but also built a strong friendship with Pastor John-Paul Miller and his wife, Mica. The families shared countless moments of fellowship, from complimentary haircuts to collaborative ministry projects. Rickman believed he had found a spiritual home. But that sense of belonging unraveled following Mica's tragic death last spring, leaving behind a shaken church community and a public feud that would pit Rickman against Miller in a bitter legal battle. Rickman's attorney, Regina Ward, revealed to News13 that her client authorized the release of documents outlining his counterclaim against Miller, who filed a $7,500 harassment suit against Rickman in Myrtle Beach Magistrate Court. According to Miller's complaint, Rickman and others involved in the “Justice for Mica” movement have engaged in “persistent harassment,” including public demonstrations that Miller claims interfere with his church and livelihood. “The ‘rallies' are nothing more than poorly organized mobs harassing and stalking [Miller],” the complaint alleges, adding that the demonstrations have damaged Miller's standing within the religious community. Rickman, however, paints a starkly different picture in his counterclaim, alleging that Miller exploited his position as pastor to breach the trust of his congregants. Rickman claims Miller used private information about him and his family in sermons, despite agreeing not to share certain sensitive details. One such sermon was recorded and posted online, causing significant emotional distress, Rickman said. “And as we all know, he liked to record his sermons. And so that was published, and that caused a lot of emotional distress to my client,” Ward told News13. The fallout deepened after Mica's death. Rickman alleges that Miller handled the announcement of her passing with a shocking lack of sensitivity, likening it to “announcing a church picnic.” Miller later described public outcry over the tragedy as “the work of the devil” and assured congregants it would “all blow over in two weeks.” Mica had filed for divorce just two days before her death, and Rickman contends this turmoil was openly discussed by Miller from the pulpit, further eroding trust. As the “Justice for Mica” movement gained traction, Rickman attended his first rally in May, observing from his car rather than joining demonstrators. He would later participate in a June rally, becoming a visible part of the group seeking answers and accountability for Mica's untimely death. Compounding the tension was an incident involving Rickman's child, a student at Solid Rock's Faith First Academy. Rickman alleges Miller manipulated the school's grading system to revoke his child's honor roll recognition just before an awards ceremony. This act, Rickman claims, was intended to inflict emotional pain on his family. The dispute has taken an even more dramatic turn with the FBI's involvement. Agents conducted a search at Miller's home in November, removing items such as computers and external drives. While the nature of the investigation remains unclear, the legal spotlight on Miller continues to grow. “My client believes this frivolous lawsuit is an effort to further intimidate and silence him,” Ward said. “He's going to hold Mr. Miller accountable. He opened the door to this, and he has every right to file a countersuit against him.” Miller and his attorney did not respond to requests for comment. Officials attempted to serve papers at Miller's residence but were unable to do so. The case underscores the turmoil within the Solid Rock Church community, once bound by faith and friendship but now fractured by legal and personal disputes. As the legal proceedings unfold, questions surrounding Mica's death and its impact on the church remain at the forefront of the community's concerns. #JusticeForMica #ChurchScandal #FaithAndBetrayal #FBIInvestigation #LegalBattle #CommunityDivision #ReligiousConflict Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

From the Alex Murdaugh trial's alleged jury tampering and subsequent appeals; investigations into the deaths of Stephen Smith and Mica Miller, examining potential foul play; and the ongoing legal battles surrounding Bowen Turner and Michael Colucci, both facing multiple accusations of serious crimes — we covered a lot of cases and controversies in 2024. Also this year, we added tragic death of Christa Bauer Gilley to our focus, and continued our focus on advocacy for victims' rights reform, specifically concerning coercive control. On this special episode of True Sunlight, the team of journalists looks back on the madness in the South Carolina Justice System, plus another shocking update in the Myrtle Beach church world related to JP Miller and Solid Rock.  With our new billboards around the state and our coverage seeking answers, we hope to shake loose information in Stephen smiths case and Sandy hopes to hear back from SLED early in 2025. We are also actively seeking partners to create a new event in July that will celebrate Stephen Smith's life and draw attention to the 10 years that have passed without justice since his death.

Newly released 911 calls have shed light on the final, harrowing weeks of Mica Francis Miller's life, painting a chilling portrait of a woman desperately fighting for safety and justice. The calls, spanning from February to April 2024, reveal a pattern of escalating abuse and control allegedly perpetrated by her estranged husband, John-Paul Miller, a prominent pastor in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This fresh evidence—along with a recent FBI search of Miller's home—has reignited national attention on Mica's tragic death and the systemic failures that may have contributed to it. On April 27, 2024, Mica's body was discovered in a remote swampy area of Lumber River State Park in North Carolina. She had traveled to the location earlier that day after purchasing a gun from Dick's Pawn Shop in Myrtle Beach. Her death was officially ruled a suicide by investigators, but the circumstances surrounding it—including allegations of abuse, harassment, and coercive control—have fueled widespread speculation about the role her estranged husband may have played in her final days. Less than 48 hours before her death, Mica served John-Paul Miller with divorce papers. Court filings detail a history of alleged abuse, including physical violence, tracking devices secretly placed on her vehicle, and attempts to control her finances and identity. These allegations are echoed in the 14 calls Mica placed to law enforcement between February 7 and April 15, each one a plea for help that went largely unanswered. One of the most haunting calls came on February 15, when Mica contacted Horry County dispatchers to report that her husband was in a manic state and posed a danger to her and others. She described John-Paul's erratic behavior and expressed fear that he might use guns purchased in her name to commit violence. Despite her detailed account, no immediate action was taken against him. Mica's struggles with the legal system began earlier that month when John-Paul initiated an involuntary mental health commitment against her, claiming she suffered from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. While Mica was hospitalized, she alleged that John-Paul stole her car, laptop, and other belongings. When she tried to report the theft to police, she was told it was a civil matter because the items were considered marital property. This lack of intervention only emboldened her estranged husband, according to friends and family. The evidence of abuse mounted as the weeks went on. In March, Mica reported finding multiple tracking devices on her vehicles, leading her to believe she was being monitored. One device was discovered the day before a critical court hearing, raising suspicions that John-Paul was trying to intimidate her or interfere with her legal proceedings. Surveillance footage from the courthouse failed to identify who placed the device, leaving Mica without proof but with deepening fear. By April 15, Mica made her final call to police about a tracking device, marking the end of her documented pleas for help. Twelve days later, she was dead. In the immediate aftermath of her death, John-Paul Miller's behavior raised further questions. On April 28, less than 12 hours after being notified of Mica's passing, he delivered a sermon at his church, Solid Rock, where he instructed congregants not to discuss her death. Days later, he attempted to gain access to the apartment where Mica had been staying, prompting a 911 call from her roommate, who reported a suspected burglary. Police turned him away, but his actions continued to draw scrutiny. The FBI's recent search of John-Paul's Horry County home has added a new layer of intrigue to the case. While the agency has not disclosed the specific focus of its investigation, many speculate it could be tied to either Mica's death or alleged financial improprieties involving Solid Rock Church and its affiliated organizations. The church has since shuttered, but questions about its operations and leadership remain unanswered. One particularly disturbing detail from the newly released reports involves an alleged strangulation incident. According to a dispatch record, Mica told police that John-Paul had choked her weeks before her death. Advocates for domestic violence victims point to this incident as a glaring example of the systemic failures that left Mica vulnerable. South Carolina, notably, is the only state in the country without a standalone law addressing strangulation as a criminal offense—a legislative gap that experts say increases the risk of fatal violence in abusive relationships. The calls for accountability are growing louder. Lawmakers have introduced a bill that would classify strangulation as a standalone crime, a move inspired in part by cases like Mica's. Advocates hope the legislation will prevent future tragedies by giving law enforcement stronger tools to intervene in domestic violence situations. As the investigation into Mica's death continues, her story has become a rallying cry for change. It is a sobering reminder of the dangers faced by victims of coercive control and the urgent need for systemic reform. For now, the questions linger: Could more have been done to protect Mica? And will the truth about her death ever fully come to light? The nation watches as the pieces of this puzzle slowly come together, each revelation a stark indictment of the failures that led to Mica's untimely death. The hope is that her legacy will inspire action, ensuring that her cries for help were not in vain. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Mica Francis case takes another turn as Solid Rock moves to "The Rate Hole". Questions continue to be raised about what Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller knew about his estranged wife's death on the night her body was found in a North Carolina swamp … and when he knew it. Are those questions fair? Are they warranted? Are they just the beginning to figuring out what happened to Mica Francis in April 2024? Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a second look at old pieces of the puzzle and put them together with new information and offer their perspective on how investigators regarded JP Miller from the very beginning and why it seemed to rattle him. Also on the show, an update on Russell Laffitte's federal retrial and his attorney's infamous delay tactics, as well as the possibility of South Carolina Attorney General's Office prosecutor Creighton Waters getting his turn at putting Russell behind bars sooner rather than later.  Plus, Cory Fleming prepares for his restitution hearing, Nautilus insurance asks a federal judge to make Cory and his former law firm pay them millions for the Satterfield heist.

Less than three years before Mica Francis' body was found in a North Carolina swamp after her alleged suicide, there was another strange death near Solid Rock at Market Common, the Myrtle Beach church that belonged to Mica's husband Pastor JP Miller. That's the death of Chris Skinner, the 41-year-old quadriplegic man who was married to the woman JP was allegedly having an affair with at the time — the same woman JP has routinely been photographed with since Mica's death in April. Chris was found in his wheelchair at the bottom of his neighborhood pool. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at Chris' inspiring story of determination and hope — at who he was BEFORE he entered into JP's ecosystem in 2018. They also take a deeper look into his death, the ensuing investigation and the strange coincidences and inconsistencies that exist between his and Mica's cases.  Was Chris at the pool this morning because he was meeting someone to play chess? Or did he go there because he had lost hope? Chris' wife Suzie told police that he wasn't suicidal and she later referred to his death as having been a result of getting too close to the edge of the pool. But that's not what surveillance footage shows. And what role did JP's alleged relationship with Suzie play in Chris' death and Mica's desire to divorce JP?  JP and Suzie have reportedly denied having an affair. And JP has denied any and all allegations related to Mica's death and her allegations of coercive control abuse during their marriage.  Also on the show, alleged Alex Murdaugh co-conspirator Russell Laffitte is out of prison and home for the holidays and what will it take for courts to take women seriously when they ask for restraining orders against the men they fear?

Thrice accused rapist Bowen Turner is getting out of prison on Halloween, and in this episode, journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell warn the women of South Carolina while explaining who is responsible for the systemic failure that led to Turner's swift release.  Did Assistant Solicitor Kevin Hope fail when he agreed to the plea sentence for Turner's resisting arrest charge? Did Bowen change? How is Bowen Turner getting out of prison?  This wildly important episode focuses on the Bowen Turner case, highlighting a series of alleged failures within the South Carolina justice system that allowed a man accused of multiple rapes to be released from prison AGAIN. We also explore similar instances of alleged bias in the justice system, specifically towards men from privileged backgrounds, and compare Turner's treatment to other, often less privileged, individuals involved in confrontations with law enforcement. We also critique the use of the Youthful Offender Act (YOA) in Turner's case, questioning its applicability given the seriousness of the charges and the apparent lack of rehabilitation effort on Turner's part…. The team also sheds light on the most recent news on Myrtle Beach pastor JP Miller and Solid Rock church in their rebranding efforts after Mica Francis' death.  Episode Resources 'Brock Turner released from jail' - CNN 'What happened to US low-cost carrier AirTran Airways?' - Simple Flying  Youthful Offenders Act Code of Law Dash Cam: Thrice Accused Rapist Bowen Turner Arrested AGAIN After DUI Crash True Sunlight 67 Episode GoFundMe for Christa Bauer Gilley Women's Healthcare in Texas Hilton Head Man Sentenced to 10 Years For Stealing Purse Man Sentenced in Lexington County For Burglary Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Join Luna Shark Premium today at Lunashark.Supercast.com.

Let's embrace common sense, stand boldly, and seek grace through Jesus.

Some marriages are built on the Solid Rock, Jesus Christ. Other marriages are on the rocks! Thursday on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us straight talk on the value of marriage, and the importance on preserving it even when life is tough.

English poet, journalist and literary critic James Fenton once stated that “A cabaret song has got to be written - for the middle voice, ideally - because you've got to hear the wit of the words. And a cabaret song gives the singer room to act, more even than an opera singer.” Words that I think our hero this season, Mark Knopfler took to heart when penning one of the songs on Side B of Dire Straits' third album, Making Movies. But what will Corey think of that abrupt and very hard left turn into the world of the Munich gay scene? Will he take to a return to a slower pace on Hand in Hand, will Kev make any more spurious claims about lyrics based on his complete misreading of a very clear musical reference? And most importantly, will Corey stump Kev during Money For Nothing?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and get a little risqué!Songs covered in this episode: "Expresso Love", "Hand in Hand", "Solid Rock", "Les Boys"Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashTwitter: https://twitter.com/UCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

With so many eyes turned to the Middle East, it is important that we not forget the real and prominent threat of China to our nation. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we once again drew on the experience and knowledge of a respected Washington D.C. columnist and expert on national security issues to get a clear picture of the ongoing push of that nation toward world domination. He addressed the new scandal of a Chinese spy discovered in the office of mayor of New York, how China is using tech to target state and local governments and the dangers of the increased politicization of the C.I.A.. One of the great joys of childhood is watching a rubber ball bounce because it doesn’t spring up only once when you throw it, it does it again and again and again! Our guest shared how she learned to “bounce” back from the dark times in her life and offered a roadmap that uses biblical wisdom to teach us how to transform our lives and create real, grounded resilience. Make no mistake about it China under President XI has one goal- to destroy America and unseat it as the world’s #1 superpower. But this is no idle threat. Our guest explained what China’s “Red Plan” is and how we are seeing it unfold on several fronts all around us like how China purposely hid the truth about COVID turning a national medical emergency into the deaths of thousands around the world, China’s relationship with Russia and Xi’s buildup of his military forces and China’s use of America’s southern border to push the deadly addictive drug fentanyl in our nation.

An anniversary is a vital signpost in the life of a church. Just as the Israelites would celebrate God's great faithfulness and deliverance, so should we commemorate (and give thanks) for the ways God has led us and blessed us. Our church has grown strong in Utah because its foundation is on The Solid Rock. As we celebrate 25 Years of ministry, we stand on the foundation of Jesus Himself. Looking back at God's faithfulness gives us confidences to face the future with hope. Together we will glorify God! Anniversary Celebration Weekend The Rock Church: Celebrating 25 Years in Utah!

After Monday's settlement was announced between Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller and the family of his estranged wife, Mica Francis, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at what led up to this moment. For the past two weeks, JP Miller has gone on a media tour … and when that tour didn't seem to get the reaction he wanted out of the public, he appears to have made a decision: It's time to post the recording from the night of March 11, when JP discovered that Mica was with another man. And not just that! Another video was posted: the full two-hour recording from JP's NewsNation interview, in which JP's comments about Mica's family — which were edited out from the broadcast — could now be heard. Both recordings were posted by TrueCrimeRI, the mysterious TikToker who seems to have partnered with JP in an alleged effort to get “Justice for Mica.” As JP and his circle publicly celebrate the settlement — and celebrate the call from Mica's family to end the Justice for Mica protests outside Solid Rock at Market Common Church— we are learning so much more about the fight that Mica had ahead of her in her divorce if she had lived …  Visit our new events page Lunasharkmedia.com/events where you can learn about the upcoming in-person and virtual appearances from hosts or submit your own ideas at lunasharkmedia.com/newevents.

As family and friends hold a beachside service for Mica Miller, John Paul Miller delivers a eulogy for his estranged wife at Solid Rock at Market Common. Miller seems to cry as he talks about how he tried to raise Mica from the dead. He claims he laid down with his wife about 4 times and when he took a dog tag necklace Mica had given him to the mall to get it fixed, he saw a woman wearing "Mica's dress" with the same tattoo and hair style, he calls out "Mica!" but it was her sister, thought he raised Mica from the dead.  Since the first days of the investigation into Miller's death, the Robeson County Sheriff's Office has been in contact with the FBI and the United States Attorney's Office for assistance. Based on information gathered during the investigation and jurisdiction reasons, the Sheriff's office has now requested assistance from both agencies. Mica Miller's body is found in Robeson County, North Carolina, but Mica lives in South Carolina and purchases the gun near her home in Myrtle beach.    Joining Nancy Grace today:  Sierra Francis - Sister of Mica MillerRegina Ward - Mica's Sister's attorney / Attorney for Sierra Francis - Regina Ward Law Firm Allicia  Young -  Mica and John-Paul Miller's former friend Traci Brown -  Body language expert, Author: “How to Detect Lies, Fraud and Identity Theft”, www.BodyLanguageTrainer.com, Twitter: @Tracibrown37   Brian Foley - Board Certified Criminal Defense Attorney - Former Chief Prosecutor in Harris County, (Houston) Texas, Author: “What prosecutors don't tell you” (not yet published) www.brianfoleylaw.com, Instagram @brianfoleylawpllc Youtube - @brianfoleylawyer Twitter @brianpllc   Dr. Bethany Marshall - Psychoanalyst www.drbethanymarshall.com/, Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, Twitter: @DrBethanyLive, appearing in the new show “Paris in Love” on Peacock   Kayla Brantley - Reporter-At-Large for DailyMail.com, Twitter: @_KaylaBrantley, Instagram: @KaylaBrantley       See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sheriff asks FBI and State Attorney General to join Mica Miller case The FBI has reportedly been called in to investigate the death of Mica Miller, the wife of a pastor who local authorities said took her own life last month. Miller, 30, was found dead in Lumber State River Park in North Carolina on April 27. She died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the Robeson County Sheriff's Office said last week, based on "surveillance footage, interviews, physical evidence, and the examination of the North Carolina Medical Examiner's Office." Her family has urged authorities to further investigate her death, alleging she was abused and groomed by estranged husband John-Paul Miller, 44, the pastor of Solid Rock at Market Common church in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He was in Charleston, South Carolina, on the night his wife died, the Sheriff's Office said. (Newsweek)
