In The Trenches Episode 12 serves as a powerful continuation of the discussion on clinical depression and suicide, specifically following up on the high volume of listener feedback regarding Kevin story from a previous episode. Cary is joined by Kevin, a new guest named David, David’s mother Lydia, and Dan Broyles, a Care Pastor and licensed therapist from Valencia Hills Church.

Supported by Action Drug Rehab, the mission is to help individuals find rediscovered purpose and move beyond the "shadow person" of addiction. As Cary often reminds his audience, "Be the person you want your child to grow up and be".
