He has an additional Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling and a Ph.D. in Psychology and Counseling from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Dr. Imler served as a counselor through the Dawson McCalister Hopeline, Irving Christian Counseling, and Rapha Christian Counseling where he provided Christian counseling services to bring hope and healing. He served as the Director of Marketing for the Minirth Clinic while also providing individual and family counseling.

In 1997, he was recruited and called into pro-life work serving as the President of America’s Pregnancy Helpline. As that ministry grew, he recognized a need for something more. The American Pregnancy Association was launched in 2003 with Dr. Imler serving as the President until 2019.

Dr. Imler leverages his education and experience to equip pregnancy centers, pastors, and others in the life-affirming ministry with the skills to intervene with individuals considering abortion during an unplanned pregnancy. He trains on counseling skills, the sanctity of human life, shame, and identity, the miracle of life, and how to present adoption with confidence. He has provided life-giving training and counseling support throughout the United States and worldwide for over 25 years.

With 56 million abortions around the world every year, Brad recognized a disparity in service accessibility globally compared to what was available in the United States. He launched and serves as the President of SOHL Global providing counseling training and equipping the global Christian community with SOHL Packs (pregnancy centers in a backpack). He also serves as the President of the Christian Adoptions Alliance promoting adoption from a Biblical and Christian perspective.

Joyce Bell, Aspire Women's Center

Dr. Imler did a fantastic job as a speaker and giving our financial plea in the allotted time of 40 minutes. Aspire raised the most money at our banquet than any banquet that we have had in 12 years. You will not be disappointed with Dr. Imler's heartfelt life story and testimony. I highly recommend him as a guest speaker.

Meagan Webb, Options Health

Brad Imler, Ph.D. was amazing to work with, from start to finish. He is such a kind man! He reached out to me prior to the event and took the time to learn about our organization and the other elements of the event, all in an effort to integrate his message as seamlessly as possible into the rest of our program. He arrived early, was well prepared, and delivered an outstanding message that was authentic, relatable, and compelling. Many attendees said he was their favorite Gala keynote we have had to date. As the Executive Director of our pregnancy center, I performed the financial appeal for the event, but Brad did an amazing job preparing everyone to give during his message, setting it up perfectly. I would highly recommend booking Dr. Brad Imler for your event, you will not regret it!

We especially appreciated your wonderful balance of humor and heartfelt truth, and how seamlessly you wove your keynote into the other speakers’ stories and messages. Your authenticity and transparency drew people in and helped connect every part of the evening in such a meaningful way....Based on the incredible feedback we’ve received, it’s clear that hearts were deeply moved and lives were impacted. That alone made the night a success. We are humbled to share that this dinner brought in our highest revenue yet surpassing our goal.
