Can someone be treated as a criminal because her silent thoughts are directed toward God? Recorded in London, this episode features Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a Christian pro-life advocate who was arrested after acknowledging that she might be praying internally inside an abortion clinic buffer zone.

Isabel tells Peter about how her work outside abortion facilities began, why she continued after facing hostility and what happened when police questioned her about an internal prayer. She discusses her acquittal, a second investigation that ended without further action and the settlement she later received from police.

The conversation also addresses Britain's national 150-meter safe access zones, the importance of physical presence in Christian witness and the difference between courage and certainty. Isabel argues that Christians should not wait until they feel fearless. They should trust God to provide the grace needed when obedience becomes costly.

Since this interview, Isabel has pleaded not guilty to five charges under the national safe access zone law. Her trial is scheduled for January 2027.
