June Hunt, M.A., is an author, singer, speaker and founder of Hope For The Heart, a worldwide biblical counseling ministry. Her lifework has yielded landmark contributions in the field of Christian counseling.

Hope For The Heart, which she founded in 1986, 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, and then becoming a college/career director, she became aware of the need for sound biblical counsel. This led June to a lifelong commitment to provide 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 100 topics, such as Marriage, Parenting and Boundaries … Anger, Addictions and Abuse … Depression, Stress and Suicide. These resources grew to become the 100-topic Biblical Counseling Library, which helps people move from wrong thinking to right thinking … and from wrong living to right living.

The ministry has steadily grown internationally. Many Hope For The Heart resources have been translated into over 35 languages with more translation requests coming in yearly. In 2002, her first international book, simply called The Keys, received the “Best Book of the Year” award when first launched in the St. Petersburg’s Book Fair. Today, Hope For The Heart partners with indigenous ministries, often in difficult-to-reach countries, to imbed tools and training to help leaders counsel, disciple and share the hope of Christ. Hope For The Heart reaches Chinese and Spanish language speakers around the globe with online counseling and training resources. We are crossing borders and language barriers by reaching into homes and hearts with the message of hope in Christ and application of God’s Word.

June is always on the go! Whether as a guest professor at colleges and seminaries or as a conference or broadcast speaker, she is grateful for every opportunity to share the hope of Christ, both nationally and internationally. June’s best-selling minibook series of 46 topics has sold over 1.5 million copies, especially in airports, grocery stores and drug stores. In 2017, the Hope For The Heart Bible Study Series launched, which includes six Bible studies on the topics of Anger, Depression, Forgiveness, Stress, Verbal and Emotional Abuse and Self-Worth. June’s passion to help others through biblical counsel is fueled by her joy in seeing a life changed through Christ. She gives interviews on a wide range of important topics, such as Childhood Sexual Abuse, Domestic Violence, and whatever hits the current news headlines.

Whether writing, speaking or singing, June Hunt is dedicated to presenting God’s Truth for Today’s Problems. Using sound, biblical methodology, inspired by Romans 12:2, she readily shares the truth that “a changed mind produces a changed heart … and a changed heart produces a changed life.”
