Thanks for your help, John. I did a var_dump that returned NULL.

This is a WP Query outside of the Loop. Excuse my not so elegant code as I am a designer, not a developer. The value of the field is a standard URL.

<?php
$args = array( 'posts_per_page' => 8 );
$variable = get_field('link', $post->ID);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post();
echo '<li>';
		echo '<div class="img-container">';
		the_post_thumbnail();
		echo '</div>';
		echo '<div class="news-container">';
		echo '<h3>';
		echo '<a href="';
		the_permalink();
		echo '">';
		the_title();
		echo '</a>';
		echo '</h3>';
		echo '<p class="date">';
		the_date();
		echo '</p>';
		the_excerpt();
		echo '<h4>';
		echo '<a href="';
		echo $variable;
		echo '" />';
		echo 'Read More';
		echo '</a></h4>';
		echo '</div>';
		echo '</li>';
		endwhile;
			?>
