Hmmmm…still did not work. HOWEVER, I decided to just re-do that whole section (the tab content area) from scratch and in doing so was able to get it to work using a different method of grabbing the posts. Instead of ‘while’, I did ‘foreach’. I’m still not sure why the other way wasn’t working. I feel like it *should* have. But here’s what I got working (I can’t take *all* the credit…my programming-genius friend did help me here, but he’s just not always available).

	<!-- Nav Tabs -->
	<ul  class="nav nav-pills">
		<?php if (have_rows('home_categories')) {
			$i = 0;
    		while (have_rows('home_categories')) {
	    		the_row();
				$term = get_sub_field('categories'); ?>
		<li class="<?php if ($i == 0) { echo ' active'; }?>"> 
			<a href="#tab-pane-<?php echo $i; ?>" data-toggle="tab"><?php echo $term->name; ?></a>
		</li>
			<?php $i++;
			}
		} ?>
	</ul>
	
	<!-- Tab Content -->
	<div class="tab-content clearfix">
		<?php 
			
			$home_categories = get_field("home_categories");
		//	print_r($home_categories);
			
			foreach($home_categories as $key => $home_cat) {
				
				
				$term_id = $home_cat['categories']->term_id;
				$term_name = $home_cat['categories']->name;
				
				?>
				<div class="tab-pane fade<?php if ($key == 0) { echo ' in active'; }?>" id="tab-pane-<?php echo $key; ?>">
				<?php
				
				
				$args = array(
					'post_type' => 'post',
					'tax_query' => array(
						array(
							'taxonomy' => $term->taxonomy,
							'terms' => array($term_id)
						)
					),
					'posts_per_page' => 5,
					'orderby' => 'date',
					'order' => 'ASC',
				);
				$query = new WP_Query( $args );
				
				foreach($query->posts as $post) {
					
					?>
					
						<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>"><?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail($post->ID, 'thumbnail', array('class' => 'img-responsive img-thumbnail')); ?></a>
						<a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>"><h3><?php echo get_the_title($post->ID); ?></h3></a>
						<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
					<?php
					
					
				}
								
				?>
				</div>
				<?php	
					
					
				
			}			?>

	</div>
