Electives

• ‘I’m not so good la’
  Asian Politeness
  What we say when we are complimented: “Haiya, no la. I’m not so good la. Where got? Hehehe” 🤭 What we say when others are being complimented: “hmmph, why don't they compliment me for all the effort I have put in also? I also did a good job, if not better!"🙄 Asian girls are known for their politeness. We are shy, gentle, and generally really nice people. But we know that deep inside, we are not quite the sweet, humble, polite person that people thought us to be. We gossip behind others’ backs, we get jealous about others who are better than us, and as opposed to our humble exterior, we actually think that we’re quite good! But of course, we would never admit it. 🤫 Join our elective as we face the dark side of our culture and share some laughs as we unravel the quirks that make us Asian, while hearing God speak His transformative work into our lives.
• ‘MY children, not your business’
  Children
  Children are a blessing from God. But... it often brings out the worst in us. Am I ready to take on this task of shepherding the little ones in His way? What if I screw it up?
• Pretty Woman
  Fashion, Beauty, Body
  Cinderella from the outside; Demonella (or demon) from the inside. "You look so pretty!" "Thanks." "So you agree and... think you're really pretty?" We often measure one's worth based on her clothing and outward appearance. A great way to cover our flaws and insecurities, make sure our ideal "self" is well-displayed in the eyes of others. But what if we’re not who we seem to be? Clothing is an outward, visible symbol of an inward, spiritual reality. Real beauty is found in Proverbs 31, a wise woman who is “clothed in scarlet,” that “her clothing is fine linen and purple,” and that “strength and dignity are her clothing.” The implication is that everything she wears—both inside and out—is beautiful. Inside-Out is the way.
• ‘XOXO Gossip Girl’
  Gossip
  "But it's no secret..." "This person told me..." "It's prolly not my business, but..." We love passing around information, whether it's true or not, at the expense of others. We know this to be 'Gossip'. The line between passing information and gossip becomes finer when intentions of care are thrown into the mix. How should Christian women think about gossip in relation to the church and who they are? Come and join us for the Gossip elective "XOXO Gossip Girl"!
• ‘Look what you made me do!’
  Manipulation / Narcissism
  "Fine. Have it your way." - Mind Games we love to play ;)
• ‘I Don’t Care (IDC)’
  Millennials
  "This is too hard." "Everything sucks lol. I wanna give up." "Can I just die?" "I wanna be somewhere else." "I need a break from everything" Do these thoughts cross your mind constantly? Might they imply something that’s deeper? Join the Millennials elective at WEW to learn how to examine our hearts and thoughts for God's glory.
• ‘I Don’t Think I Am That Bad La’
  Piety
  Can piety be meaningful in modern life today? Or is the notion outdated and backward? How can Christian piety be rightly pleasing to God?
• '#RelationshipGoals'
  Relationships / Friendships
  "𝑪𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒚—𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒃𝒂𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒚." This is a common saying we hear in relationship advice. After all, we all want to have meaningful relationships that can fulfil our needs and make us happier, be it in marriage, dating, or friendships. But in reality, each one of us brings a subtle darkness to these relationships that makes it less than perfect — everything from passive-aggressive behavior to a heated shouting match. Some might argue that passive-aggressive behaviour is the "lesser evil" of the two. Others argue the opposite. But, are we all just kidding ourselves? Come join us as we explore the deeper issues of relationships in our lives and how we might tackle them in light of God’s truth.
• ‘Let’s Talk About SEX’
  Sex / Sensual pleasure
  Many are of the opinion that sex is just a physical activity, but in reality, sex starts with the mind. Sensuality, seduction, sexual arousal, lust, emotional intimacy, desire for companionship and more can all come before physical intercourse even takes place. Join us as we learn what God says about sex and the dark side of a woman before sex.
• ‘I’m Better Off Single’
  Singleness
  “There are lots of things to do. I don’t have time to date.” “It’s hard to look for a suitable godly man to partner in a marriage.” “I think I can do better without him.” Although the Bible says that marriage is the norm, a lot of us actually prefer to stay single. You can have more time for yourself, have the freedom to do what you love, and not have to be bound to anyone for anything. After all, the Bible says that it's better to be single than married! Hmmm, is that really the case? Well, come join us as we explore the dark side of our desire for singleness, and discover the real problem behind this seemingly godly desire.
• ‘#LikeForLike’
  Social Media
  Somehow, everyone looks happier on Instagram. Big smiles. Korean for dinner. Bikini at the beach with her other half. Beneath our glossy Instagram feeds lies something far more sinister. We carefully curate which parts of our lives we want to publicize online, crafting an image of ourselves that our peers can admire. Remove the filters and you will find a generation of women more depressed, lonely, and insecure than they care to show in their OOTD’s. Surely women in church are different… right? Maybe, maybe not. Come explore the Dark Side of Social Media with us at WEW 2022.
• ‘The Respectable Sins of the Busy Woman’
  Work & Piety
  "Keep her busy and let her feel that she is needed, so that she'll never know how much she is working for us" - Satan
