(LifeSiteNews) – Jordan Schwarzenberger, the 28-year-old entrepreneur who manages the Sidemen and co-founded Arcade Media, has spoken publicly about his Catholic faith, denouncing modern decadence and describing his conversion from atheism as a “miraculous” transformation.
Appearing on Internet Dads, one of the UK’s most listened to parenting podcasts, Schwarzenberger outlined how a “hedonistic” early life in media gave way to faith, order, and family.
The former Vice and LadBible executive – who also sits on the U.K. government’s SME (Small to Medium-Sized Enterprises) Council – spoke candidly about raising five children under six while running one of Europe’s most profitable influencer networks.
“I was raised in the most liberal, irreligious environment,” he said, explaining that his first encounter with faith came after he stopped drinking in 2018. “I didn’t even know what a Catholic was … my life started to become increasingly ordered. Everything started to become way better.”
Schwarzenberger said his conversion culminated in being baptized with his son in December 2020, describing the period as “a total case study of what grace can do to the soul.”
The entrepreneur credited a “clear mind” and exposure to moral decay in culture for awakening him to the existence of good and evil.
“I could just sense this sort of overt evil – even Satanism … They’re doing it in protest against something that is on the other side of the fence,” he said, speaking of what he called “open Satanism in Hollywood.”
He defended the necessity of God for moral coherence, arguing that “everybody has a religion,” whether they acknowledge it or not. “For me, it was self,” he said, “which is ultimately what Luciferianism really is.” Rejecting relativism, he pointed to original sin as the root of modern disorder and insisted that moral law can only be restored through grace.
“When you leave Christ, you leave God … society falls,” he told hosts Rory Jennings and Spencer Owen. “You can look at history in that apex of rising and declining in relation to how close culture and society is to Christ.”
Jennings and Owen are known for their football commentary, with Internet Dads being a podcast on “the highs, lows and hilarious moments of raising kids and being Dads in the digital age.”
Schwarzenberger’s remarks follow his August BBC interview in which he denounced Vatican II, liberalism, and the ideals of the French Revolution – making him one of the few mainstream media figures to discuss traditional Catholic doctrine in public.
The podcast also covered Schwarzenberger’s family life, his wife’s twin pregnancy, and his view that parenthood imposes a higher moral and professional standard. “Having kids is the best hack for work,” he said. “You become better at work, because you have to be discerning, you have to be efficient – you have to up your game.”
