How Shavaun Scott Reads JP Miller’s "Protection" Claim

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott is the key voice in this combined episode on JP Miller, Mica Miller and the rise-and-fall story of Solid Rock Church. Her focus is the concept of carewashing: the way an alleged controller can take surveillance, pressure and boundary-breaking conduct and rebrand it as concern. According to federal prosecutors, Miller said he used a private investigator to monitor Mica in order to keep her safe. Scott explains why that kind of explanation can be persuasive to outsiders even when the behavior allegedly points in the opposite direction. 

That same framework helps make sense of the church story. Public reporting in 2023 described a ministry with significant holdings — roughly $5.59 million in property and related assets, including the church campus, acreage, vehicles and an airplane. By late 2024, Solid Rock Church and its school had closed, the main property had sold, and former church elders were publicly saying they had never been given a clear picture of the church’s finances. Meanwhile, JP continued preaching to a much smaller group at rotating locations. 

The federal indictment charges Miller with cyberstalking and making false statements and alleges conduct from November 2022 through April 27, 2024. Prosecutors say that conduct included unwanted contact, interference with Mica’s finances and daily life, tire damage, an intimate image posted without consent and tracking devices placed on her vehicle. Miller has pleaded not guilty, has not been charged in connection with Mica’s death and is set for the October 2026 trial term. 

Shavaun Scott’s analysis keeps the episode from becoming just another timeline recap. She looks at how institutions can confuse loyalty with morality and how people inside a system can start defending conduct they would instantly recognize as alarming anywhere else. 

The result is one story with two tracks: what prosecutors say JP Miller did to Mica, and what happened to the church structure that once centered him, funded him and, according to former insiders, revealed far less to its members than many thought.
