The action starts at 1:35 with a couple of very respectable Greek-ish sidearm throws.

I want to learn the stone retrieval method he used. How do I get my stones to come back into my sling's pouch?  
 
If the hits were faked, wouldn't that be a form of deception or to be straight up about it, lying? I hear people go to hades for that...  
 
I wonder what other valuable history lessons we can learn from Pastor Chris?

I think the end of the video was a kind of sarcasm type humor. And perhaps in the context of the lesson he really explained the that someone was throwing the rocks. I have helped film videos, that out of the context of the lesson, would not make much sense. Maybe it's the same here.
 
At least he's spreading the basic concept of the sling, it's better than nothing. Now all of his students at least know what it is, how effectively it was used, and will probably recognize one if they see it again.

Seems the lesson lost its impact there at the end.

His lesson is good and his form isn't half bad either.  I think the shots at the cans were supposed to be humorous and observed with a grain of salt.
