Function not Working

Why does this not work?

// Excerpts
function custom_field_excerpt($title) {
            global $post;
            $text = get_field($title);
            if ( '' != $text ) {
                $text = strip_shortcodes( $text );
                $text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
                $text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
                $excerpt_length = 20; // 20 words
                $excerpt_more = apply_filters('excerpt_more', ' ' . '[...]');
                $text = wp_trim_words( $text, $excerpt_length, $excerpt_more );
            }
            return apply_filters('the_excerpt', $text);
        }

 <p><?php echo custom_field_excerpt('resource_post_content'); ?></p>

Try including the post ID parameter in the get_field() function, ie:

$text = get_field($title, $post->ID);
