Wide Open, Week 3: Worry
About this episode
This episode features a Youth Sunday message delivered by high school students discussing their struggles with faith and worry.
Listen to the May 3, 2026 Sunday worship service from Zionsville United Methodist Church in Zionsville, IN. There's something worth paying attention to when teenagers stand up in front of a congregation and talk honestly about feeling disconnected from their faith. This week's message was delivered entirely by five high school students for Youth Sunday, and it might be one of the most grounded takes on Matthew 6 you'll hear. They're not pretending they have it figured out. One of them admits she sometimes can't remember the last time she prayed. Another wrestles with a question his dad was once asked by a man in Haiti — a man with far less than most of us, who somehow had more trust. The message moves through worry, busyness, hope, and what it looks like to believe that God provides — not because life is easy, but because God is present in it anyway. Whatever stage of life you're in, this one is worth your time. https://www.zumc.org/sermons
