Regardless of the Man of God. The Youth Pastor. I'm doing it my way. You're going down. Your pride is taking you down.
Pride leads in only one direction - down to hell.
You're to come behind them and wrap your arm around their chest - under their arms. And pull them to safety. If they fight you while you're trying to rescue them - amd this is not uncommon. You pull them to safety by their hair. This is to keep you both from drowning.
