Death of the Pastor's Wife: What Really Happened to Mica Miller with Jennie Gage
Death of the Pastor's Wife: What Really Happened to Mica Miller with Jennie Gage  
Podcast: Culture Changers with Allison Hare
Published On: Thu Oct 01 2026
Description: Mica Miller told her friends that if she died by suicide, it wasn't her. It was JP. Netflix gave Death of the Pastor's Wife three episodes, and my repeat guest Jennie Gage watched her own marriage play out on screen. She spent 24 years as the wife of a Mormon church leader, survived her own suicide attempt, and has a theory about what really happened to Mica. This one is harrowing. Trigger warnings on this one: suicide, abuse, and religious coercion.
