Requests to the author for permission should be addressed to [email protected]. All Content is Copyrighted © 2020 By Ashley A. Adams, Schoolin Life, LLC All Rights Reserved Schoolin Life Devotional: “Adulting 101” Schoolin Life was asked by one of our listeners to develop material for a church small group. We are delighted to expand our existing content about adulting (one of our most popular topics) into a facilitated 8-week devotional guide. Schoolin Life is regularly hosted by Ashley and Marcy, but for this special project, Ashley is joined by Andre, a longtime listener and supporter of the show. Schoolin Life Schoolin Life started as a podcast, with a vision to extend my standard “girlfriend” conversations to a wider audience. I realized that not all women had access to the thoughtful, impactful, and affirming conversations I had with my friends, and I wanted to share what I had with others. Now Schoolin Life is a lifestyle brand that still includes a weekly podcast, hosted by Ashley and Marcy, and also live events, a blog, merchandise, and mentoring for new and mid-level professional women through the Mentor Me platform. Schoolin Life blends my passions for education, storytelling, lifestyle blogging, mentorship, and personal and professional development. Even with this expansion, the vision hasn’t changed. Schoolin Life still exists to have those same conversations but to impact more people, and share the authentic mission of helping women “school life” with a wider audience. “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Heb 10:24-25 SCHOOLIN LIFE DEVOTIONAL: “ADULTING 101” 3 Meet Ashley I’m a big sister, empath, acting vice president of the #Beyhive and founder of Schoolin Life. My primary passions revolve around home décor and design, hosting house parties and fostering hilarious conversations through podcasting. My love for schoolin’ others and personal development started at a young age, as my favorite childhood game was “playing school.” Now I don’t play but do; I turned the game into reality. I earned a Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration in 2015 and currently serve as the director of student affairs at a prominent R1 research institution in the Northeast and as a faculty member in the university’s College of Education. Schoolin Life has forced me to be more honest, introspective, and compassionate and the fact that it serves as a resonating sounding board for so many others inspires me every day. Meet Andre I am a native of Orangeburg, South Carolina, the City of 1,000 Azaleas. I am passionate about diversity, equity, inclusion and my walk with Christ. Known for both my preppy school boy dress and my love for Jordans, I married the two to represent my personality. Using my talents and passion, I am currently a doctoral student in my last year of coursework. My research is focused on the academic experience of Black males in cultural greek organizations. I am currently a senior administrator in student affairs at The Pennsylvania State University at University Park, Pennsylvania. As an avid listener and supporter of Schoolin Life my work is enhanced through a lens only which could be seen as a student in the Schoolin Life classroom. SCHOOLIN LIFE DEVOTIONAL: “ADULTING 101” 4 Letter to the Class: Your being here tells us that you are committed to following God and His direction and commandments for your life. Too many Christians hesitate to study His word and use it to guide their life so we’re extremely proud of your commitment to the study of this devotional guide. Thank you for taking the step to invite God and Schoolin Life into your lives, learning how to adult at your best. Adulting is hard and there are so many rules on how to do it right and wrong, so if you’re feeling overwhelmed at the start, you’re not alone. Know however that God’s plan for your life is clear and He will reveal it to you if you believe. This devotional guide is designed to walk you through the core principles of adulting and what the Bible and fellow believers have to say about living our best adult lives. This devotional guide is designed to help you understand the core principles of adulting, connect biblical principles and God’s word with this millennial term and provide some reflection and direction as you adult. We believe that this devotional guide is coming to you during a season for you to make a shift into new thinking and new possibilities. We pray for each of you here and look forward to the testimonies and breakthroughs that you experience together. Best of Blessings, Ashley and Andre SCHOOLIN LIFE DEVOTIONAL: “ADULTING 101” 5 Table of Contents: Devotional Framework of Weekly Episodes Week 1: Defining Adulting We discuss what adulting really means and the key components of adulting with purpose.

Week 8: Adults Just Want to Have Fun We discuss the power of play and how having fun as an adult is necessary for fulfillment and living out your purpose. SCHOOLIN LIFE DEVOTIONAL: “ADULTING 101” 6 Week 1: Defining Adulting On this week’s episode, we discuss what adulting really means and the key components of adulting with purpose. The American Dialect Association nominated the word “adulting” as the word of the year in 2016. At the time, it described a new term that millennials were using to describe their engagement in adult behaviors. Adulting represents things like buying a house, navigating your relationship with your boss, or even going grocery shopping while following a budget; it’s all the little (and big things) we have to do as adults. When we reflect on our young adulthood, we were so eager to grow up, but now many of us are wishing for the freedom of being young again. Listen as Ashley and Andre discuss what adulting means to them, their adulting wins (and a few of their failures), and what it means to be an adult and a believer today. 1. How would you define adulting? Why do you think the phrase is so common? 2. When did you first realize you were an adult? 3. What are your most common adulting behaviors? Which do you love? Which do you dread? 4. 1 Corinthians 13:11 states “When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.” How does this verse relate to your experience with moving into adulthood? 5. By the age of 30, Jesus had a job He loved, was #passport goals, and had a tight circle of friends, no squares (well maybe a couple, but you get the idea.) Do you think that Jesus’s life is a good example of adulting for us today? 6. What advice would you give to someone who is struggling with the basic tenets of being an adult?

Our good Christian brother, Chistopher Wallace (known to some as The Notorious B.I.G.), famously told us “Mo Money Mo Problems” and we couldn’t agree more. Yeah sure, we finally have McDonald’s money but being good stewards of our coins, tithing, paying our bills (on time), and trying to save a little for a rainy day is exhausting. Listen as Ashley and Andre talk about their relationship with money, their personal finance methods, and what being a Christian has taught them about money. 1. Growing up, how did your family talk about God and money? 2. What is your current relationship with money? Is this relationship full of lies? 3. What are your top three personal finance mantras? 4. With more than 1000 references to money and finances throughout the Bible, clearly God was trying to tell us something (shoutout to Shug Avery).

Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Crystal Yvonne Sellers Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2009 Dissertation Committee: Loretta Robinson, Advisor Karen Peeler C. Patrick Woliver Copyright by Crystal Yvonne Sellers 2009 Abstract ―I Sing Because I‘m Free‖: Developing a Systematic Vocal Pedagogy for the Modern Gospel Singer With roots in the early songs and Spirituals of the African American slave, and influenced by American Jazz and Blues, Gospel music holds a significant place in the music history of the United States. Whether as a choral or solo composition, Gospel music is accompanied song, and its rhythms, textures, and vocal styles have become infused into most of today‘s popular music, as well as in much of the music of the evangelical Christian church. For well over a century voice teachers and voice scientists have studied thoroughly the Classical singing voice. The past fifty years have seen an explosion of research aimed at understanding Classical singing vocal function, ways of building efficient and flexible Classical singing voices, and maintaining vocal health care; more recently these studies have been extended to Pop and Musical Theater voices. Surprisingly, to date almost no studies have been done on the voice of the Gospel singer. Despite its growth in popularity, a thorough exploration of the vocal requirements of singing Gospel, developed through years of unique tradition and by hundreds of noted Gospel artists, is virtually non-existent.

Sound Business: Great Women Of Gospel Music And The rT ansmission Of Tradition Abstract From the 1930s to the present, women have played instrumental and visible leadership roles in the remarkable growth of African American gospel music. Through both creative and entrepreneurial activities, these women paved the way for the expansion of an emotive sacred music expression from the worship practices of southern migrants to audiences around the world. This dissertation focuses on the work of three cultural trailblazers, Mahalia Jackson, Aretha Franklin, and Karen Clark Sheard, who stand out in the development of gospel music as virtuosic vocalists and pivotal figures whose sonic imprints can be heard both in sacred songs performed in churches and in American popular music. By deploying exceptional musicality, a deep understanding of African American Christianity, and an embrace of commercialism, the three singers have conserved and reworked musical elements derived from an African American heritage into a powerful performance rhetoric.

    GREAT GOSPEL JAZZ PIONEERS: Were of Almost Equal Importance--The Fusion of Which Reflects His Part 1: Ramsey Lewis Signature Gospel Jazz Musical Style of Today

    By Terrence Richburg © 2008 The phenomenal musical artistry of Ramsey Lewis is vastly celebrated throughout the world by audiences of all walks of life. However, his musical journey implicitly served as a foundational underpinning for the development of Gospel Jazz as an accepted new form of music. Born Ramsey Emmanuel Lewis, Jr. on May 27, 1935, Lewis excels as a Jazz icon, composer, and pianist. Touted as "the great performer, " his performance style and musical repertoire flourished from his early gospel technique and classical training along with his profound love of Jazz and other musical forms. Lewis had no experience playing Jazz, except for recordings his father played around his home which included such greats as Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Mead Lux Lewis and others. He was only 15 when a fellow church musician, Wallace Burton, asked him to join his Jazz band and took the time to coach Lewis to learn (to him) the "brand new" language of Jazz. This provided Ramsey with his first real experience with Jazz, which soon became the major force in his musical life, but European classical and Gospel music GREAT GOSPEL JAZZ PIONEERS: were of almost equal importance--the fusion of which reflects his Part 1: Ramsey Lewis signature Gospel Jazz musical style of today. By 1966, Lewis was hailed as one of the most dominant Jazz pianists in the nation, topping the charts with such popular Gospel Jazz tunes as " Wade in the Water." Many of his recordings captivated large non-Jazz audiences. To his credit Ramsey Lewis has recorded over 80 albums and CDs and has received five gold records and three Grammy Awards so far in his extraordinary career.

It is not just because I am a Christian and a minister that gospel music is my favorite genre. I love it for a number of reasons. First, the uninformed view gospel music through the narrow lenses of Eurocentric hegemony. The beliefs that singing gospel music destroys voices, that all of it sounds the same, that gospel music is not worthy of ‘serious study’ is erroneous and denies the very fabric of American musical history.
