Heir to oil fortune spreads Christian teaching via her own radio show
June Hunt talks to callers

Five times a week, June Hunt goes to a Dallas broadcast studio, staying until 1 a.m., taking calls from troubled souls across America on her Christian radio program, Hope in the Night.

As an heir to the Hunt Oil Co. fortune, June Hunt could be doing almost anything she wants, or nothing at all.

But five times a week, she's in a Dallas broadcast studio until 1 a.m., taking calls from troubled souls across America on her Christian radio program, Hope in the Night.

One night, not long ago, she advised a cab driver who had lost purpose, a grandmother distraught over her violent grandson, and a woman whose conversion to Christianity had rocked her marriage.

Another woman called, upset that a male colleague who dresses as a woman was allowed to use the ladies' restroom at work.

"OK, has there been a sex change? Is he a transsexual?" Hunt, 61, asked with the same earnest concern she uses for the occasional suicidal caller.

"I don't know," the woman said. "There's some hair on his chin. You can still tell it's a man."

Shake the family tree of legendary Dallas oil baron H.L. Hunt and an intriguing story is bound to fall. Few beat that of daughter June.

Deep faith and the emotional trauma of her youth (including struggles with Dad) have led her to feel others' pain and try to lessen it. For 20 years, she has devoted her time and much of her wealth to her nondenominational counseling ministry Hope for the Heart.

Through lectures, books, advice sheets, tapes, and radio programs, she pours forth "God's truth for today's problems," addressing everything from eating disorders to salvation.

Her basic message is that those who align their will with God as revealed in Jesus Christ will have not just eternal life but the power to change in this one -- and she is there to help, offering action steps and key Bible verses.

Hunt's ministry employs ordained ministers and licensed counselors, but she is neither, having majored in music at Southern Methodist University.
