First item in custom loop in a shortcode is not being formatted

I am having a really odd issue with a custom query and loop. I’m looping through and displaying CPT posts of team member bios on a ‘Meet the Team’ page. The content for the first post is not being formatted at all; it doesn’t matter what order the posts are in, the first one just gets spit out raw. The really interesting thing is that if I add a conditional testing for the first item, then ‘manually’ format the content, the second item will not be formatted.

I’m callling the query and loop from a shortcode, and running a very basic child BB theme.

My question is: why is this happening and what can I do about it?

Here’s the function I’m using to do the query:

  // Generic basic query function
  function twc_basic_query( $posts = -1, $post_type = 'teammember', $order_by = 'menu_order' ) {
    $args = array(
      'post_type' => $post_type,
      'post_status' => 'publish',
      'orderby' => $order_by,
      'order' => 'ASC',
      'posts_per_page' => $posts,
    );

    $results = new WP_query( $args );
    return ( $results -> have_posts() ) ? $results : false;
  } // / twc_basic_query

Here’s the shortcode:

function twc_team_members() {

ob_start();

$team = twc_basic_query();

$args = array(
  'team' => $team,
);

get_template_part( '/includes/module-team-members', null, $args );

return ob_get_clean();

} // / twc_team_members
add_shortcode( ‘teammembers’, ‘twc_team_members’ );

Here’s the Loop:

<?php

  $team = $args['team'];

  if( $team ):
    if( $team -> have_posts() ):
?>
  <div class="fl-team-members">
  <?php
      while( $team -> have_posts() ):
        $team -> the_post();
  ?>
    <div class="fl-team-member-wrap">
      <div class="fl-team-member-image">
        <?php the_post_thumbnail( $post -> ID, 'full' ); ?>
      </div>
      <div class="fl-team-member-content">
        <div class="fl-team-member-meta">
          <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
          <p><?php echo( get_field( 'team_member_title' ) ); ?></p>
        </div><!-- / .fl-team-member-meta -->
          <hr />
        <div class="fl-team-member-bio">
          <?php echo apply_filters( 'the_content', $post -> post_content ); ?>
        </div><!-- / .fl-team-member-copy -->
      <?php if( $yt_url = get_field( 'youtube_bio_url' ) ): ?>
        <div class="fl-team-member-video">
          <a class="fl-button js-new-tab" href="<?php echo $yt_url; ?>">Hear from <?php echo( get_field( 'member_first_name' ) ); ?></a>
        </div>
      <?php endif; ?>
      </div><!-- / .fl-team-member-content -->
    </div><!-- / .fl-team-member-wrap -->
  <?php
      endwhile; // / The Loop while
  ?>
  </div><!-- / .fl-team-members -->
  <?php
    endif; // / The Loop if
  endif; // / $team test
  wp_reset_postdata();

I used the_content() in my original code, and got the idea to use echo apply_filters( 'the_content', $post -> post_content ); from this question, but it has no effect.

I also tried using echo wpautop( $post -> post_content ); in a conditional targeting the first post, and it adds paragraph tags as expected, but that results in the second post not being formatted.
