John and Mike take a look at the timeline of Joseph Smith's First Vision accounts against the official church narrative. The main focus is on the inconsistencies and contradictions in the four main First Vision accounts, with a timeline of the evolution of the First Vision story. They also touch upon the problem of no contemporary mentions of the First Vision and compare it with similar visionary experiences by other contemporary figures. The church's official essay on the First Vision is also discussed raising questions about whether the church is deliberately misleading people about them.
