As Mica continued, she said that “there’s a lot of really good people in the church that I just hope would continue on, press toward the calling, run your race, stay encouraged, stay in the Word, keep worshiping.” She added, “I can’t wait to worship again with everybody, but for now I am just worshiping with me and Jesus.”
“I don’t think God would be pleased with me if I just jumped right into missions and women’s events and creative directing and worship leading and stuff,” Mica said, continuing on to say the following:
I think when your world is shook up, you need to take a pause, and I can only pray that more people will take a pause. I’m trying to get my priorities straight right now and that’s making sure that my heart doesn’t have any unforgiveness, bitterness, [or] resentment. Just forgiveness and hope for the future and peace because you can’t put a price on peace from God.
Mica followed that video with another talking about abuse and how God hates divorce. She encouraged those listening that “you are the bride of Christ first before anybody else’s. And he’s got you and he sees you and he loves you.”
Friends and family of Mica are on social media and speaking to news outlets to encourage law enforcement to look “deeply” into her death, suggesting that Mica’s death might not have been strictly related to her mental health.

“There’s got to be some accountability here. Because yeah, a tragic life was lost, and it’s not just as simple as mental health issues,” one of Mica’s friends said.
Others are using the hashtag #justiceformica, while one of Mica’s friends and former Solid Rock congregant, Angela Clark, has said that Mica had moved out of her house, leaving the church she loved, and had hired a lawyer to file divorce.
Clark also described the last text message she said received from Mica hours before Mica was found dead.
“I will not sit here and pretend that I know exactly what happened on Saturday but I know A LOT,” Clark said. “I am well aware, in the past, that Mica had mental health issues and I witnessed her struggle first hand, but I also know that in the last few months this has been used as a WEAPON to control her.”
Her friend shared that Mica was in the midst of “breaking the chains of an abusive marriage” and was moving forward with her life and trusting God.
Clark said that she and her husband Brian had to leave Solid Rock at Market Common because “it was a toxic environment,” a church family they loved.
