Daugherty stumbled back onto the stage away from Rogers and prayed that God would forgive Rogers and bless him. Later that evening Daugherty visited Rogers in the Tulsa county jail to discuss the reasons for the attack. Rogers showed no remorse for what he had done. "He said he'd do whatever he wants, to whomever he wants, whenever he wants," Daugherty said.<ref name="Preacher_punched"/> Daugherty did not press charges against Steven Rogers for the assault.<ref name="Punched">"Minister is punched in the face during worship service", ''[[Tulsa World]]'', November 22, 2005, p.
