while dordt alumni might groan at the mere mention of it (worldview, worldview, worldview), i think the best model for approaching this question is the concept of sphere sovereignty developed by abraham kuyper.
here’s the essentials of sphere sovereignty, borrowed from redeemer’s web site:
Sphere sovereignty implies three things: (1) ultimate sovereignty belongs to God alone; (2) all earthly sovereignties are subordinate to and derivative from God’s sovereignty; and (3) there is no mediating earthly sovereignty from which others are derivative.
and here, because i’ve run out of time for posting this morning, are some other resources:
