Is teaching the Bible during the school day really legal? Yes! The concept of released time religious instruction has been upheld multiple times at the U.S. Supreme Court. Released time guidelines both guard against government establishment of any one religion and allow expression of the right to the “free exercise of religion,” also protected by the First Amendment. LifeWise Academy comes alongside administrators and teachers to support their mission of serving students, schools, and communities. Studies show that LifeWise programs improve student attendance and behavior, with educators recognizing the benefits and parents overwhelmingly recommending LifeWise.
At True Texas Project, we never shy away from the difficult discussions, and this is one we have been having for years now. We, as Texans, have got to fire Greg Abbott! In the last gubernatorial election, we supported all three of his challengers and used the tag line "Anyone But Abbott". This time around, we will be taking a similar approach, we are hosting two challengers who have already come forward. Both Mark Goloby and Doc Pete Chambers are running for the Governor's seat in 2026, and we believe they both have an important message to share. Come out to this months meeting and hear from Mark Goloby about his campaign and the reasons he is running!

About LifeWise:
LifeWise Academy was founded in 2018 as a division of Stand For Truth, an event-based nonprofit ministry with a mission to reach public school students. The creation of LifeWise was inspired by a released time program in Van Wert, OH, which boasts a 95% participation rate among public elementary school students. Stand For Truth and the Van Wert released time program teamed up to create LifeWise Academy, launching the first two LifeWise programs in the fall of 2019. LifeWise Academy now serves more than 1,200 schools nationwide.
About Mark Goloby:
Mark V. Goloby was born where many great Texans are from, Tennessee. Mark’s family moved to Houston when he was 3 and grew up close to the Astrodome. Mark graduated from Texas A&M in 1981 with a BBA in Accounting. Mark started working in Internal Audit for Dresser Industries then worked for GTE Mobilnet (now Verizon) Texas Region as a Controller. Mark founded TC Technologies and has been pioneering wireless remote monitoring, data applications for over 25 years. He has delivered wireless solutions in a wide variety of applications from cathodic protection on pipelines to wireless mesh networks to monitor a wide variety of wellhead production, measurement, and processing equipment on the well pad.
He has been very active on a number of issues and served on numerous association boards. Within the oil and gas industry, Mark orchestrated a fight of local control over oil and gas operations in several small East Texas cities. The result was a complete shutdown of the initiative and retraction from these cities trying to usurp the authority of the Texas Railroad Commission. Mark was instrumental in getting Texas Independent Producer and Royalty Owners (TIPRO) to participate in the Texas State Convention. This was the first time the oil and gas industry has ever attended a state political convention.
Mark was able to get the Texas Republican Party to adopt Repeal Chapter 313 of the Texas Tax Code into the 2018 Texas Republican Platform. A similar plank was put in the Democrat Platform. Mark championed ending the 313 abatements for over 5 years. This effort culminated in the Texas Senate allowing 313 to expire in this regular 87th Legislative Session. Mark has been Chairman of the East Texas Energy Symposium for 11 years. The symposium brings topics pertinent to the East Texas operator. The proceeds have raised over $200,000 to support The East Texas Oil Museum. Mark has been a champion of property rights and is a member of Houston Property Rights Association. He has advocated for more eco-friendly use of property, spearheading the conversion of the neighborhood flood detention facility into a Naturescape transforming a neighborhood blight into an amenity.
Mark is on the Board of Cherry Tree Republicans and is Treasurer of the Cherry Tree Republican PAC. He coordinated a direct effort of a text campaign for 10 candidates for the 1st and 14th court of appeals in the 9 surrounding counties of Harris County, in which ALL 10 justices won.
