The Life of the Pastor's Wife:Reexamining the Tragic Case of Mica Miller

Sometimes, a true crime case hits too close to home because the warning signs are textbook. Today, we return to the tragedy of Mica Miller in light of the new documentary Death of the Pastor’s Wife. We discuss how coercive control operates in christian circles, why our initial instincts on this case were spot on, and how severe psychological entrapment can warp reality. Most importantly, we talk about the pathways to safety—how to recognize the red flags earlier and take back your agency, and what resources exist for anyone needing to break free from a high-control partner.  Ad for Southeast Counseling in Parker, CO Ad for Reliatrax practice management software Support the showDisclaimer: Jeannine and Natalie are commentators on publicly sourced information.
