At one point, Dempsey pulls out a knife and hands it to a teenager to cut him with. The teenager hesitates before another student grabs the knife and drags it slowly across Dempsey's back. It doesn't appear as if the knife broke skin. “They are supposed to be role models. They are supposed to be people our children can look up to," she said."I understand where they came from, but I don't understand it."In an apology video posted Tuesday to the church's, lead pastor Justin Ross called the exercise"inappropriate" but said the intent behind it was important.
