Courageous AF: Theodore Ambie‑Barango on Faith, Curiosity, Doubt and Becoming | S2 Ep1

In the Season 2 opener of Unscripted Curiosity, Jenn and Scott are joined by the thoughtful, funny, and deeply reflective Theodore Ambie‑Barango for a conversation about courage, curiosity, and the long road of questioning what we were taught to believe.

Theodore shares his journey from growing up in a deeply religious home in Nigeria to moving to Canada for university, building a career in tech, and eventually writing his book Lost in Scripture—a vulnerable exploration of faith, doubt, and deconstruction. He speaks openly about the tension between honoring where we come from and having the courage to think for ourselves, especially when education, lived experience, and curiosity start asking new questions.

Together, they talk about how doubt often begins quietly, how learning to hold multiple perspectives can deepen empathy, and why understanding the “why” behind our beliefs (and each other) matters so much—whether in families, relationships, or across cultures. Along the way, they touch on music, writing as a healing practice, therapy, and the teachers and mentors who shape us in lasting ways.

This conversation is an invitation to stay curious, stay compassionate, and be brave enough to grow—even when it’s uncomfortable.
