Page template with custom loop not displaying WordPress GUI content

[sugarfiend06]

New to PHP, WordPress, and Genesis, so it's really likely I might be missing something super-basic here. I'm using the Genesis framework only, making my own child theme. (Yeah, I know I'm overly ambitious/insane.)

I want to be able to display content from the WordPress GUI (not a custom field) before the loop on a page template that also displays custom fields from the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. Basically, I want the page content to be intro text. I've been trying both the_content(); and get_the_content(); functions but it doesn't seem that either one is working.

I know I've gotten the HTML and PHP syntax right, since the tags do show up and the title appears correctly - there's just nothing between the <p> tags. I'm not sure what else to try, since everything I've Googled says that either get_the_content(); or the_content(); should work.

This is the entire page template:

<?php
 
/**
 * Template Name: Programs overview
 * Description: Used as a page template to show page contents, followed by a loop through a CPT archive  
 */

remove_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );
 
remove_action ('genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop'); // Remove the standard loop
add_action ( 'genesis_loop', 'cm_programs_custom_loop' ); // Add custom loop

function cm_programs_custom_loop() { ?>
    <h1><?php echo get_the_title(); ?></h1>
    <div class="overview">
        <p><?php echo get_the_content(); ?></p>
    </div>
    <?

    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'programs', // enter your custom post type
        'order' => 'ASC',
        'posts_per_page'=> '5',  // overrides posts per page in theme settings
    );
    $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
    if( $loop->have_posts() ):
                
        while( $loop->have_posts() ): $loop->the_post(); global $post;
 
        echo '<div class="programlist">';
            echo '<h3>'.get_the_title ().'</h3>';
            echo '<p>';
            the_field( 'short_descriptive_headline' );
            echo '</p>';  
        echo '</div>';
        
        endwhile;
        
    endif;
    

}

    
/** Remove Post Info */
remove_action('genesis_before_post_content','genesis_post_info');
remove_action('genesis_after_post_content','genesis_post_meta');
 
genesis();
