Empowering millennial moms to turn back to traditional, Christian values.Hey, I’m Jill!
Welcome to Myrrh Bearing Millennial, a Christ-centered space created to support and inspire Orthodox Christian wives, mothers, and homemakers who long to return to a slower, more intentional way of living.
I’m Jillian, an Orthodox Christian convert, wife, homeschooling mom of three, homemaker, podcaster, YouTuber, educator, and small business owner. I’m also a homesteader, award-winning sourdough baker, and passionate advocate for traditional Christian motherhood and Biblical womanhood. Here, you’ll find encouragement to embrace your God-given role at home, raise your children in the faith, and build a life rooted in Orthodox tradition, all while exploring creative ways to support your family through online income and entrepreneurship.
On this website, you’ll find:
The MBM Shop: Offering digital resources like my Cleaning Routine Guide and Sourdough Recipe Bundle, as well as homemaking accessories, apparel, and tools for the Orthodox Christian home and homeschool.
MBM Press: My publishing branch dedicated to Orthodox homeschooling resources, festal and saint studies, printables, and our original Little Arrows Homeschool Planner.
Myrrh Bearing Millennial Podcast & YouTube Channel: New episodes and videos weekly on faith, motherhood, marriage, homemaking, homeschooling, and income-building as a stay-at-home mom.
The Blog: A growing library of posts sharing practical encouragement, Orthodox Christian living, homemaking tips, gluten-free cooking, homesteading, motherhood reflections, and more.
The world tells women that traditional values are limiting. But I believe they are liberating. You were made for more than just surviving your days, you were made to live them with purpose. Through Christ, you can build a home, raise saints, and create impact beyond your walls.
This is a place where you are seen, supported, and reminded that living a life of simplicity, service, and faith is both powerful and possible.
