The first thing he did was tear up the paper containing the speech approved by the school system. Next, Costner spoke of how humble he was to have the honor, recognizing various classmates who seemingly contributed more to the school. When his remarks turned to those who had helped him along the way, he gave thanks to his church and his parents for leading him to Jesus Christ. Costner then directly acknowledged his Lord and Savior, praying the Lord's Prayer in the middle of his speech.
Costner later clarified his moment of conviction in an interview with The Christian Post, "I want to emphasize that everyone should be free to say what they want. Just because I prayed to my God doesn't mean that someone else isn't allowed to pray to who they want or say what they believe. We should all have free speech."
