June Hunt (born Ruth June Hunt, December 31, 1944) is Founder and CSO (Chief Servant Officer) of Hope for the Heart, the nonprofit Christian ministry she founded in 1986. Hunt is the author of the Biblical Counseling Library, a 100-volume collection of topical, Biblical counseling manuals, that serves as the foundation for Hope for the Heart's international broadcasts, training, publishing, teaching and biblical counseling ministry. Hunt has two radio broadcasts—Hope in the Night, a live 2-hour call-in counseling program, and Hope for the Heart, a half-hour teaching program. Early years Hunt was born as daughter of H. L. Hunt and Ruth Ray. She grew up in Dallas, where Hunt attended the Hockaday School. Hunt then graduated from Southern Methodist University in 1966 with a Bachelor of Music degree, and later earned a Master of Arts degree in Counseling from Criswell College. Career Hunt initially worked as Junior High Division Director, and later as College & Career Director, at First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, overseeing the spiritual formation of 1,200 members combined. As a part of this role, Hunt created curriculum for a multi-year Bible survey course. Between 1989 and 1992, she developed and taught Counseling Through The Bible, a scripturally-based counseling course, which addressed 100 topics in categories such as marriage and family, rocky relationships, emotional entrapments, Christian apologetics, as well as addictions and abuse. Since then, the coursework has been refined to form the basis for the Biblical Counseling Library, composed of 100 topical training manuals, each called Biblical Counseling Keys. The Counseling Library has served as the foundation of the ministry's expansion, including the 2002 creation of the Hope Biblical Counseling Institute (BCI). Initiated by Dallas' Criswell College, the Institute equips spiritual leaders, counselors, and other caring people to find solutions for emotional, relational and spiritual problems. During this time, Hunt also appeared as a guest on numerous national TV and radio programs, including NBC's Today Show. She also toured overseas with the USO and was a guest soloist with the Billy Graham Crusades. Hope for the Heart Hope for the Heart'''s Biblical Counseling Library provides a foundation for Hunt's two daily radio programs, Hope for the Heart and Hope in the Night.
