Hope For The Heart Founder, CEO and CSO June Hunt is one of the world’s leading biblical counselors. An author, singer and speaker, she founded Hope For The Heart in 1986. Her life’s work has yielded landmark contributions in the field of Christian counseling. The ministry offers biblical hope and practical help—through biblical counsel, coaching, and context for contemporary concerns—in more than 60 countries on 6 continents.

Early family pain was the catalyst that shaped June’s compassionate heart. Later, as a youth director, she became aware of the need for sound biblical counsel. This led June to a lifelong commitment to providing God’s Truth for Today’s Problems.

After years of teaching and research, she developed Counseling Through The Bible, a scripturally-based counseling course addressing approximately 100 topics, such as marriage and parenting, depression and anger, stress and suicide. Now a 5-volume set, this proprietary Biblical Counseling Library “moves people from wrong thinking to right thinking … and from wrong living to right living.”

These 100 Biblical Counseling Keys have become the foundation for the ministry’s steady expansion, including the 2002 creation of the Biblical Counseling Institute (BCI) initiated by The Criswell College, where June earned her Master of Arts degree in counseling. Each three-hour or six-hour conference provides training to help laypeople, pastors, counselors and other caring Christians meet the very real needs of those around them. Each year June leads 20 BCI conferences.

The Counseling Keys are also the foundation for the ministry’s two popular radio programs, heard on nearly 900 radio outlets around the world. Hope For The Heart is an award-winning half-hour teaching broadcast showcasing June’s topical training before a live audience. Hope In The Night is June’s live two-hour call-in counseling program that helps people untie their tangled problems with biblical hope and practical help. Through her warmth, wisdom and gentle candor, June prompts penetrating dialogue with listeners, often with life-changing results.
