In this introductory episode of Maidenhead’s Questions, host Adam Curtis sits down with local author and speaker Mark Meynell to pull back the curtain on a new town-wide initiative: “God my question is…”

Maidenhead is a town full of people with big, important questions—about life, faith, and God. Rather than assuming we have all the answers, St. Mary’s Church is launching a survey to find out what the people of Maidenhead are actually asking. Adam and Mark discuss the "why" behind the project, the value of honest questions, and how we plan to bring in respected Christian thinkers to address the top questions you’ve raised.

In this episode we look at the inspiration behind the Maidenhead town wide survey, why St Mary’s Church wants to listen before we speak, and we address the initial scepticism people might have about a project like this. Why are you God bothers bothering me? Are there even answers? Should people even care what God has to say?
