About this community

Porch Swing Hope launched in August 2025 because I believe nobody should face life's hardest moments alone. I'm Trina Daniels, and I'll be sharing life experiences, stories behind old hymns, and the kind of honest conversations that used to happen on front porches. Through writing and podcasting, I cover everything from hidden disabilities to overcoming major obstacles - it's about real life, not just faith. When you subscribe, you get access to everything I create plus newsletters sent straight to your inbox. Your support keeps this community going and helps me continue creating content for people who need hope most. Thanks for saving a seat on the porch with me.

Your seat is always saved

By signing up, you'll get access to the complete collection of hymn stories, family wisdom, and encouragement posts, plus everything new that's coming. Think of it as your personal library of hope - always available when life gets heavy and you need reminding that you're not alone.

Hope delivered to your inbox

Stay connected with new stories and encouragement sent directly to you. No more missing out because of social media algorithms or busy schedules. Every Wednesday, you'll discover the fascinating story behind a beloved hymn. Every Friday, you'll find real stories about overcoming challenges, navigating hidden disabilities, and finding hope in unexpected places. You'll never miss a moment of hope.

Find your people

Join a community of others who understand that life brings real challenges, that faith and experiences are not always simple, and that we all need encouragement sometimes. Here, you'll meet people who love old hymn stories, appreciate honest conversation, and believe that sharing our struggles and victories makes us all stronger. Some of us grew up with grandparents on front porches. Others are creating new traditions with chosen family. All of us believe hope is worth holding onto.
