What does Tribe teach about jewish feasts?
Drawn from the messages where it was actually addressed: the words said from the front, the passages taught, and where to hear the whole thing.
At Tribe, the teaching on the Jewish feasts starts with a reframe: Brian Hunter does not call them Jewish feasts at all. He calls them God's family traditions, shared with the Jewish people first but extended as an invitation to everyone. The argument is straightforward. Leviticus 23 presents these as God's own appointed times, and when the Holy Spirit prompted Brian in 2020 to get Tribe synced up with God's calendar, the question the leadership team kept returning to was whether they wanted to get back onto the world's rhythm or onto God's rhythm. The feasts became the answer.
Every one of these traditions, Brian teaches, does three things when you observe it: it helps you remember what God has done, it recalibrates your life away from the pace that work and school and seasons pull everyone into, and it rehearses you for events that have not yet been fulfilled. That third function carries the most weight. The Hebrew word behind 'holy convocation' in Leviticus 23 carries the meaning of gathering for the purpose of rehearsal, and Brian uses that to make the case that the feasts are not museum pieces. The spring feasts, Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, and Shavuot, have already been fulfilled through the crucifixion, burial, resurrection, and the giving of the Holy Spirit. The three fall feasts, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, still have no check mark next to them.
The practical payoff Brian keeps coming back to is readiness. Getting familiar with the feasts now is what puts a person in a position to say, like Peter did in Acts 2, 'this is that,' instead of losing their footing when those events unfold. Brian puts it this way: if you allow the Lord to develop your worldview, you position yourself to be in a place of leadership and influence, calmness. That posture, he says, is exactly what the feasts are designed to build.

“Your stance today is the least expensive that it will be in your life.”
From The Feast of Trumpets： A Rehearsal for What's Coming
The passage taught · 1 Corinthians 15:51-52
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
