I’m on a lifelong journey to define foundational truths for when life gets tough. And I call it wImagine.

est. 2008

I’m Matt! I created wImagine to help me find my purpose and I am its Operational Leader.

It’s my job to do what I can do to fulfill my God’s and Brother’s needs. And for what I can’t do, I partner with teams who create a more Love driven world.

My autistic brother Michael is my Directional Leader, driving my mission: weOvercome the odds with lives like Michael.

His journey has taught me that everyone faces challenges, so I must live with grace towards others and myself.

Jesus is my Foundational Leader, driving my vision: weImagine in a world led by Love.

His transformative love unlocks our best selves, following him was the best decisions I ever made, and I try to live in a way that invites others to experience that transformation.

The influences above guide me through five pillars that define my work, relationships, and partnerships:

wImagine Faith
wImagine Family
wImagine Health
wImagine Advancement
wImagine Empowerment

wImagine Faith

We love because He loves us

est. 2008

Actions

I believe God’s truth is relevant for how I was created, so I reflect His love through patience, grace and joy while challenging myself to higher standards. This isn’t about judgment but about internal authentic transformation, letting Him guide my convictions and growth.

Because Jesus gave everything to bring people home as they are, I mentor others by leaving them better than I found them. I focus on relationship over religious baggage, breathing life into interactions and encouraging people to discover their fullest potential through love, not judgment.

I live intentionally to give more than I take, investing in who and what matters most, because Christ gave first. I give a portion of my time and talents every year because it wasn’t really mine anyway, it was His. The Cross is enough and as such, my goal is to serve others like how Christ served me.

Values

We value people over excellence

#Love

We surrender ourselves to serve others

#Serve

wImagine Family

We commit because He commits to us

est. 2008

Actions

Michael may have Autism but that doesn’t mean he’s lost. Michael is patient, kind, and strong, who knows who the good guys are and seeks the best in himself and others. I will push him because I believe in him, fight for him when he’s voiceless, and surrender my own plans because his direction for my life is better than mine.

I reject the notion that we’re better alone and push back against creating villains in our narrative. I seek friends who actively pursue their best selves, and I bring joy, encouragement, and wisdom to my circle… usually through memes.

Nobody bets against those with special needs and gets away with it. I will do anything short of sin to defend Michael and others like him from abuse, neglect, or exploitation. I don’t negotiate with bullies and I don’t provide aid to those who seek to hurt vulnerable people.

wImagine Advancement

We grow because He grows us

est. 2008

Actions

Data has answers to the world’s greatest unknowns, helping us make informed decisions even when uncomfortable. Science is a process that helps us step beyond biases to learn truth. I will use the scientific process and data to grow myself, my career, and my world while embracing new technologies — not to win, but to grow.

I reject shortcuts, betraying others, or faking it for growth. I’d rather fail doing what’s right than win doing what’s wrong, focusing on authentic development over quick wins.

I actively use my leadership and educational abilities to create innovative solutions that use everybody’s strengths. I promote accessible education and technology as tools to advance our world, not replace responsibility or relationships. Because when the team and world gets better, we get better too.

#Innovation

#Growth

wImagine Health

We care because He cares for us

est. 2013

Actions

I follow Biblical, Scientific, and Common Sense best practices by eating less processed foods, exercising, partnering with experts, and addressing problems right here, right now, before they become worse. I won’t give myself excuse passes because I have a mission worth protecting.

I will be attentive and ready to tackle at all times, so that I can tackle whatever situation comes my way. This means I avoid situations that are unwise. I surrender my right to make choices that could hurt me or this mission because I am living for something and someone greater than me.

The 2008 Matt surrendered nearly everything and almost his life to create this framework. I will protect the resources I have so that they grow responsibly and I will continue to develop and honor this wImagine framework that he begun. When I hold onto what that Matt built, I unlock my maximum potential.

Values

We refine ourselves to give more than what we take

#Responsibility

We pursue Love by pursuing (often inconvenient) truths

#Humility

wImagine Empowerment

We empower because He empowers us

originally est. 2008 as wImagine Public Relations. Yeah, PR was a thing. Goes to show you how confused I was.

Actions

I don’t try to empower the world alone because that’s not scalable. When someone is already doing what I would have done anyway, I double down with them. I live sacrificially to give to and serve with these partners, recognizing that nothing I possess can out-excuse God’s call to restore the broken fabric of this world.

I focus on solutions instead of just complaining and I lift people up rather than tear them down. I go way further and try way harder than I probably should in order to fix problems, even if they’re not really my business. Because when people are held back by problems I know I can solve, I won’t just stand by and watch.

Equality alone cannot fill in the hole from years of neglect and suffering. I’m committed to standing by marginalized populations, pushing back oppression, and providing restoration from what was robbed. Because while some lives have been forgotten, every life still matters, and I will see through it.

Partners

Values

We do what others don't, to reach who others won't

#Persistence

We create life, leaving people better than we found them

#PositiveEnergy

wImagine Support & ‘Legal’

We defend because He defends us

Actions

Nobody bets against those with special needs and gets away with it. I will do anything short of sin to defend Michael and others like him from abuse, neglect, or exploitation. I don’t negotiate with bullies and I don’t provide aid to those who seek to hurt vulnerable people.

When organizations, systems, or people prioritize rules over loving action, I walk away. Faith without works is dead, and I refuse to partner with anyone who expects me to choose compliance over compassion.

Values

An intentional attack on Michael is an attack against wImagine

weOvercome the odds with lives like Michael, and together, weImagine in a world led by Love.

This is my mission and vision. This is wImagine. This is Matt Widjaja.
