And we\u2019re not just talking about the cardiovascular kind!<\/p>\n<p>Although ziplining has been shown to lower blood pressure, we\u2019re referring to something much deeper: spiritual growth.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>An Exercise in Trust<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>No doubt about it, ziplining is an exercise in trust. You strap on the helmet, tighten the harness, and prepare to take the plunge, hoping that something or someone will help you make it safely from point A to B. Even for the seasoned risk-taker, the \u201cwhat ifs\u201d are sure to surface when you\u2019re standing on the edge of the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Ziplining is a tangible way to face your fears and take a leap of faith; a reminder that wherever you go and whatever you face, God is with you, and you can place your hope and trust in Him (Psalm 56:3).<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A New Point of View<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of the best things about ziplining is the view.
