As a father and a Christian I raise my children to understand that the only legitimate forms of human authority have been delegated by God and they become illegitimate to the extent that they oppose, contradict, or becomes more restrictive than him. In short, it is better to obey God rather than men, but God does put people in legitimate authority over us. Nevertheless we should respect and obey them only insofar as they are in conformity with God's revealed will.
As a father I go out of my way to raise my children with the knowledge that all authority is illegitimate, even mine.

It creates some challenges lol 😂

But I’d rather have it this way than the opposite.
