As we enter 2026, we take a look back at some of the notable events of the past year. Some good...some not.

Political, financial, personal, and spiritual pinnacles and pits punctuate our look back. And we look forward to just how much of a rollercoaster this next year just might be.

From horrific deaths to widespread youth revival, we're seeing events that are shaping the nation. We've also seen even more undermining of our nation through political polarization via partisanship.

Will we survive this next year? It all depends on our foundation:

Solid rock or shifting sand.
