\"Day2Tribesblog\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The farm where I pray and pick apples is a scenic forty-five minute drive from Cambridge.\u00a0 With a passion to connect with like-minded women burning like a fire in my bones and my friend\u2019s encouragement to warm my heart, I pondered the word \u201ctribe\u201d on the drive.<\/p>\n

Before this trip and leading into this thirty-one day challenge, whenever I prayed for direction and community, the word \u201ctribe\u201d rang clear and strong in my heart.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s a loaded word for me.<\/p>\n

It sounds like \u201cclique\u201d, \u201cdivisions\u201d, \u201csnobbery\u201d and \u201cexclusion\u201d.<\/p>\n

All things that are not in line with the Kingdom value of unity in the body as directed in Ephesians 4:3.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wondered:<\/p>\n

\u2018in what way does creating a distinct group\u2014 identifying with a \u201ctribe\u201d within the Body\u2014make an effort to keep the unity?\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This became my Drive-Time Lectio Divina; I turned that word around and around and around. I even quieted the car, turning off NPR and Carson daily to create space for Jesus to speak. Every time \u201ctribe\u201d made is way out of my mouth and back into my heart, I hoped he would give me a new picture of that loaded word.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I tried to replace the it with:<\/p>\n

\u201cSmall group\u201d, \u201chouse church\u201d, \u201cgirlfriends\u201d, or \u201cfamily\u201d<\/p>\n

Nothing. No change. No new word or softer phrase.<\/p>\n

Just \u201ctribe\u201d.<\/p>\n

Forty-five minutes of meditating and not single clear thought or new revelation.<\/p>\n

To say I was a little annoyed would be an understatement.<\/p>\n

I parked my car, got out, and headed to the farm store still tasting the bitter aftertaste of \u201ctribe\u201d in my mouth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs this where I pay to pick apples?\u201d I asked the round matron behind the red-checkered counter<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u00a0 Would you like a peck or a bushel?\u201d she asked as sweetly as a cinnamon sugar cider donut.<\/p>\n

\u201cUh\u2026a peck.\u201d I decided after looking at the steep price list, remembering why it\u2019s a commitment to shop directly from farmers, it\u2019s not cheap to support local agriculture!<\/p>\n

She pulled out a small yellow bag that holds about twenty apples, I paid my eighteen dollars and as I turned away towards the orchard gates, she called out, \u201cWhat are you looking for today?\u201d<\/p>\n

For a moment, I was taken aback.\u00a0 \u2018Apples, of course\u2019<\/i> I thought. Until I realized she meant \u201cwhat types of apples<\/i> am I looking for today?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh! Whatever you have\u201d I threw out flippantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, honey come look at this map with me\u201d she advised, knowing I needed a bit of guidance and patience.<\/p>\n

She showed me several types of apples blooming right now.\u00a0 There were rows of Cortland planted next to Macintosh across from Macoun.\u00a0 She explained how some are not in season yet and so they\u2019re sectioned off.<\/p>\n

It was overwhelming.\u00a0 There is an incredible diversity available of one thing at Shelburne Farms\u2014apples.<\/a><\/p>\n

I stepped into the orchard (serenaded by Allison Krause and Yo-Yo Ma reminding me \u201ctis a gift to be simple\u201d) and began to walk in between the rows of apple trees.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3549\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I stood at the intersection of the three in-season varieties and breathed in deep their crisp, sweet, tangy fragrance.\u00a0 I planted myself among the apples tress and breathed in and out, in and out,\u00a0 letting their aroma wash away my drive\u2019s annoyance.<\/p>\n

After a while, I realized, I couldn\u2019t parse out distinct varieties\u2026I could only smell apples.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3547\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And it dawned in me.<\/p>\n

One delicious aroma in the midst of three very distinct trees.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cortland tress only grow<\/em> Cortland apples.\u00a0 If you cut into one and take a bite, you\u2019ll notice it\u2019s tart tangy flavor.<\/p>\n

Macintosh trees only grow<\/em> Macintosh apples. Frank Browning poetically describes it\u2019s flavor in his book, \u201cAn Apple Harvest\u201d,<\/a><\/p>\n

Snap a rosy McIntosh from the tree and it\u2019s like walking with Thoreau past Walden Pond in the 1840s, as the complex play of honeyed, tart, and spicy juices trickle down your throat<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Macoun tress only grow<\/em> Macoun apples.\u00a0 With it\u2019s complex flavor apple connoisseurs have described as a hint of strawberry and spice, it tastes dramatically different than the Cortland or the Macintosh.<\/p>\n

One gorgeous fragrance; Three distinct apples,<\/p>\n

Each variety\u2019s seeds dictate their make up and flavor. In order for them to give off that delicious, inviting aroma and cultivate their unique flavors they must grow in community<\/i> with apples planted from the same seeds.\u00a0 You\u2019ve never seen a tree with several different types of apples blooming on the same branch because God designed like to nourish like.<\/p>\n

Every tree represented a little tribe.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3548\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Cortland Tribe.<\/p>\n

The Macintosh Tribe.<\/p>\n

The Macoun Tribe.<\/p>\n

But, I still felt unsettled. It\u2019s true, the times I\u2019ve thrived as a believer was when I surrounded and availed myself to mentors who \u201cgot\u201d me. Women who may not look like me but have similar seeds of faith planted deep in their hearts. Women who when cut up, are complex and sweet and a little spicy.<\/p>\n

I became ripe for God to use on those trees sharing branches with my sisters.<\/p>\n

I grew strong in communities that I shared common interests and passions.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve forgotten that I was well acquainted with tribe life. I became the women I am today because of a strong tribe in my younger years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBut, how does the \u201cunity and diversity\u201d described in 1Corinthians 12 play into this tree\/tribe analogy\u201d, I asked the Lord.<\/p>\n

Standing in that intersection it all became clear to me; the apple tree tribes were growing healthy and strong in community with each other,<\/em> even as they were a community within themselves<\/em>.\u00a0 They were all Sherlburne Farm apple trees, yet they were distinctively Cortland, Macintosh, or Macoun.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To Whom they belonged mattered as much as who they were made to be.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since coming home from the farm, I learned something interesting about how farmers plan their orchards.\u00a0 In order to cultivate the healthiest crops, they intentionally plant differing varieties of trees next to each to maximize pollination.<\/p>\n

According to organicgardening.com:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to have successful pollination, it is necessary to have two different varieties of apple trees. Most apple varieties are self-unfruitful, which means their blossoms must be fertilized with the pollen of a separate variety in order to achieve good fruit set.<\/p>\n

Apples also need pollinators\u2014certain wasps, flies, and bees\u2014to transfer pollen from one variety to the other. The apple trees must be planted within 100 feet of each other in order to help ensure that the pollinators visit both trees.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And I imagined many tribes in the Kingdom of God with the Holy Spirit, our Divine Pollinator moving between us, taking what we\u2019re passionate about in our tribe and encouraging another, challenging one tribe with another\u2019s success, fertilizing the dreams he\u2019s placed in one tribes heart with the wisdom he\u2019s given another.<\/p>\n

I asked Jesus, \u201cwhy tribes\u201d on my drive to orchard and he answered back in the variety of the Shelburne apple trees.<\/p>\n

The orchard and The Body of Christ are both the design of a thoughtful creator.\u00a0 The variety of trees reveals something of the farmer\u2019s character and offers exciting diversity, just as each tribe within the Kingdom of God reveals Him in unique ways.\u00a0 Just as specific varieties of apples thrive best and most naturally grown from the same root system, tribes of like-minded women can thrive well\u00a0 when we connect and grow together.<\/p>\n

As sisters in Christ, we should give off similarly enticing aromas, all originating with Jesus, yet we can\u2014and in this series, I\u2019ll suggest we should<\/em>\u2014maintain our variety identity.\u00a0 We should be true to who God made us to be and to the convictions He\u2019s placed on our hearts. We should find our tribe.\u00a0 Seth Godin, best selling-author and TED Talk speaker on tribes define them as this:<\/p>\n

A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea. For millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or another. A group needs only two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So this series will be an exploration on the ideas I\u2019ve connected with as a believer, the leaders who helped formed those ideas and hopefully by the end, I\u2019ll connect with many women who like me are looking for a tribe who find encouragement and resonate with the teachings and writings of Greg Boyd, Bruxy Cavey, and Jonathan Martin.<\/p>\n

Going forward, here\u2019s the lay of the land from now to the 15th.\u00a0 Starting with peacekeeping between tribes tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Day 3: Keeping the Peace Among the Tribes<\/b><\/p>\n

Day 4: FMF (I\u2019ll write in the Five Minute Friday tradition, but I\u2019ll work the word into this \u201ctribe\u201d series)
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Day 5 and 6: Unity prayers
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

My Tribe\u2019s Campfire Calls (parts 7-15 will be taking from the ReKnew Manifesto)<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

After a weekend of unity liturgies, I\u2019ll move onto my \u201cCampfire Calls\u201d\u2014the distinct flavors of this tribe.\u00a0 What words do we savor?\u00a0 God do we see Jesus?\u00a0 How does the cross affect our day to day life?\u00a0 These questions, ideas, and convictions will be explored in the next fifteen days as \u201cCampfire Calls\u201d.<\/p>\n

This imagery\u2014 calling women to come and sit by the fire to process God and womanhood\u2014comes from\u00a0 \u201cJesus Feminist\u201d by Sarah Bessey.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a> I\u2019m reading an advanced copy and I\u2019m loving her poetic, beautiful writing.<\/p>\n

She begins with painting a picture of pouring ourselves glasses of smoky, chalky, sweet wine or steaming, spicy cups of tea, pulling a warm sweaters around ourselves and sitting knee to knee or across the fire from one another and just talking this stuff through.<\/p>\n

So, in this series, my tribe\u2019s defining characteristics or convictions will be called, \u201cMy Campfire Calls\u201d.\u00a0 I\u2019m calling my sisters to come, sit by the fire, and let\u2019s share our stories and struggles with women who hold similar values\u2014 God looks like Jesus,\u00a0 blessed are the peacemakers, and our lives should be shaped by the selfless love of Jesus.\u00a0 We hear these calls from Scripture and the Spirit and they resonates with us.<\/p>\n

So from day 7-15, I\u2019m going to share how each Campfire Call became a conviction of mine as an invitation to come, let\u2019s sit by the fire and encourage one another.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Day 7: Sister, Where do you get our Life<\/b><\/p>\n
