In the last of the series on Foolish Strategies, Randy talks about the Glory Way and Predatory fools, and wraps up with how we can put off foolish strategies and begin to put on Jesus Christ. Each foolish strategy is trying to get the best life without factoring in God - we have to acknowledge and respect God enough to do what he says as we move away from foolishness.

In the fourth message of the Foolish Strategies series, Randy talks about the Fun Way fool, who is out for their own enjoyment. Staying within God's boundaries is necessary for a fruitful life, but the Fun Way fool ignores the boundaries in their focus on what they want.
