Are there even answers?

Season 1 · Episode 1

Friday, April 17, 2026 • Duration 32:25

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?

Real Lives

Season 1 · Episode 2

Monday, May 11, 2026 • Duration 45:55

We all have questions for God. In this episode of Maidenhead's Questions we hear the stories of three people, the questions they had and what brought them to the point of accepting Jesus as their Lord.

Louise feared that God would ruin her life.
Clyde, after experiencing personal suffering, wanted God to tell him why?
Gracie grew up in a house that had images of Jesus on the walls, but she just didn't know him personally.

If you have ever experienced any of these things, then give this episode a listen. These stories prove that no two journeys to faith are the same. We are so grateful to Louise, Clyde and Gracie for sharing them with us.

St Mary's Church Maidenhead welcomes everyone. No matter where you are on your journey or what questions you are carrying. Come and see us this Sunday. We have services at:

8 am | 9:15 am | 11 am | 4 pm | 6:30 pm

The people of Maidenhead had lots of questions for us on the person and work of Jesus Christ. Join Adam, Ian and our guest Glen Scrivener from Speak Life, delve into some of them:

What happens when you die?

Season 1 · Episode 5

Friday, May 29, 2026 • Duration 45:00

In this episode of Maidenhead's Questions, Adam and Ian sit down with Niv Lobo from Christ Church, Cambridge to tackle the third most requested topic from the people of Maidenhead: death, heaven, hell, and the afterlife.

Niv opens up about his personal journey from aggressive scepticism to finding an intellectually and emotionally satisfying faith in Jesus. Together, the team dives into the heavy questions:

Why is there death at all?
How do we know heaven and hell are real?
How can I worship a God who will send my family to hell if they don’t believe in him?
Who goes to heaven?
Eternity sounds terrifying, why do Christians want that?

If you've ever stood at a graveside feeling like death just isn't right, or wondered if any traveller has ever truly returned from the undiscovered country, this episode is for you.

Does God even exist?

Season 1 · Episode 6

Friday, June 5, 2026 • Duration 40:45

Does God Even Exist?

On this episode of Maidenhead’s Questions, Adam and Ian sit down with Esther Chidlow from OCCA (The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics) to tackle the ultimate starting point for faith: Does God actually exist?

Moving past simple "blind faith," Esther draws on her background in mathematics and philosophy to look at the rational, historical, and personal evidence for God. Together, the team explores:

The Big Picture: Digging into philosophical pointers like the cosmological argument and the mind-boggling numbers behind the fine-tuning of our universe.
Science vs. Faith: Why pitting them against each other is a major category error, and how they actually answer different "maps of meaning".
The Silence & The Doubt: How to navigate the seasons when God feels quiet, why the Bible gives us full permission to ask hard questions, and how Jesus responds to our skepticism.

Whether you are wrestling with doubt, wondering if faith is just wishful thinking, or looking for solid intellectual anchors in a messy world, this deeply encouraging conversation is for you.
