Josiah Walker, a 27-year-old Costco worker, began a chat with a decoy pretending to be a thirteen-year-old girl. Walker asked the girl several graphic questions, including if she was a virgin, what her favorite positions were, and if she wanted to try having sex with multiple people. He worried about being caught a few times during the conversation. Walker drove 100 miles from San Deigo to the sting house in a Cobra Mustang. When he knocks on the front door, the decoy answers from another door. Walker rushes to the decoy with excitement. When he goes into the house, he approached the decoy and hugged her. The only predator in the show's history to do so. Chris then emerged and motioned for him to “have a seat.” This is another Hurrdat Media Production. Hurrdat Media is a podcast network and digital media production company based in Omaha, NE.

On this episode of Salty Believer Unscripted, Josiah Walker opened the episode with a frustrated question about why the Church is confused by the role of Pastor, women in ministry, offices in the Church, and why the Church seems so broken today.

What is the role of women in the Church, ministry, and leadership? What is an Elder? What is a Deacon? What does the Bible say about all of it and why does tradition have so much influence in this area? Is it time for another reformation?
