Biblically Speaking

Is Paul asking for suffering, accepting unavoidable suffering, or discovering Christ within suffering that is already happening?

What does “participation” or “fellowship” in Christ’s sufferings actually mean?

Is there something about Jesus that Paul believes cannot be known intellectually—that must be experienced?

Dr. William Lile, known nationwide as “The ProLife Doc,” is a board-certified OB/GYN, former department chair, and founder of the ProLife Doc ministry. In 1999, he took over Pensacola’s largest abortion provider, and on day one, ended all abortion services and referrals. Since then, he’s been on a mission to educate and inspire, using his medical expertise and biblical convictions to defend the lives of the unborn.

Dr. Lile specializes in diagnosing and treating complex conditions before birth. From performing fetal heart surgeries to administering blood transfusions to unborn babies, his work presents a powerful and undeniable truth that these unborn children are patients who deserve the same rights and protections as anyone else. 

Through powerful visuals, real medical knowledge, and unapologetic biblical truth, Dr. Lile speaks across the country at churches, schools, and pregnancy resource centers, equipping others to stand boldly for life. He’s also the creator of the ProLife Doc Curriculum—an 8-module educational series that features stunning medical animations, expert commentary, and interactive workbook content.

Dr. Lile’s message is clear, hopeful, and deeply compelling: a patient is a person, no matter how small—and every life is made in the image of God.

During this near death experience he got to see the two angels that the Lord had sent to save his life. Bruce is the only person Doctors can find who has ever lived from some of the injuries he had.
Since recovering from this accident he and his family have gone into full-time ministry sharing their gripping testimony wherever the Lord leads. They have felt led to not only minister to the body of Christ but also to those in need, resulting in building an orphanage in Honduras and a church in India with home equity as well as doing prison and jail ministry.
He and his wife Lori and their four children-Lauren, Caleb, Jacob, and Emily live in Wisconsin.
