“Every setback is a setup for impact.”

In Episode 44 of Men Pursuing More, Turnar Kist takes us on a powerful journey from growing up in Winnipeg, Canada, to becoming a teacher and coach in Minnesota. Turnar reflects on the lessons learned attending Catholic and prep schools, volunteering at a young age, and balancing his love for hockey and basketball—though he didn’t play them at the varsity level, he found his stride on the football field in both high school and college. Inspired by his older brother, Turnar pursued football at the University of Mary in Bismarck, where he majored in Social Studies and minored in Special Education, setting the stage for his calling as a teacher and coach. His path has included overcoming concussions, a serious accident, hard career choices, and most recently, a battle with cancer alongside his father’s stage 4 fight. Today, as a football and lacrosse coach and a special education teacher, Turnar is living out resilience, pouring into students, athletes, and families while staying committed to his own growth. This is a story of grit, faith, and finishing strong no matter the obstacles.

Every first Tuesday of the month, Men Pursuing More takes a deep dive into men’s health because finishing strong starts with showing up for yourself.
