In the Fall of 2002, Nikki Rutz transitioned from her career as a lawyer (having worked with the Houston-based Sears & Cole Law Firm, the Illinois Legislature, and the Illinois Central Management Services agency) into full-time ministry and co-founded Lily7. Since that time, she has been a featured speaker at various college campuses and conferences throughout the United States. Carrying a passion for seeing this next generation of collegiate women develop godly character and fully find their identity in Christ, Nikki teaches biblical principles with relevant application to the issues facing today's collegiate woman. She previously obtained degrees at Baylor University (economics/pre-law) and the University of Houston Law Center (doctorate of jurisprudence), and currently pursues coursework at Covenant Seminary in St. Louis, MO. Nikki has written two Bible studies (Seven Sides of a Woman's Character and The Next Seven Sides) and is a contributing writer for Collegiate magazine. Although she will be taking time to pursue other ministry endeavors during the 2009-2010 school year, she can be contacted for potential speaking engagements at info@lily7.com.

In 2007, the Lapointes moved back to Iowa where they continue their involvement with family, church, and music. Allie has recently been involved in writing songs for a project called "Tell Me What You See: Hope for those overcoming an eating disorder" by Music For The Soul, a Nashville-based organization.
